Children’s Sabbath 2017

Children’s Sabbath is a world-wide celebration of young people every October.  First United Methodist Church of Uvalde joins in this celebration by giving children under the age of 18 the opportunity to lead our worship service through the giving of testimony, reading scripture, singing, playing instruments, praying, serving communion, ushering, acolyting, and greeting. 
The theme of this year’s Children’s Sabbath is SERVICE. At the 11:00 worship service on Sunday, October 15th, young people will focus on serving one another in Christ. The confirmation class will pledge their commitment to the confirmation journey as well. All three services will be held this day, but the Children’s Sabbath service will be held during the 11 o’clock hour.
Bring a side, salad, or dessert for a celebratory luncheon to follow in Weston Hall of the Christian Life Center. Hamburgers and hot dogs and macaroni and cheese will be provided. There will also be fun activities for the children and youth after lunch at the lot with the 3 crosses across from the Sanctuary, so they should bring a swimsuit and towel and parents should bring lawn chairs.  Young people are encouraged to bring friends.  All children are welcome!
