Youth Council The Youth Council is a small group of students who represent the larger youth group of Highland Park United Methodist Church. They are the body that gives input as to what events and/or programs our youth group creates or participates in. They also help determine meeting times and locations, as well as participate in behind-the-scenes ministry stuff like branding and marketing. Hospitality Teams Each Sunday, a different Hospitality Team, is responsible for providing dessert, helping meal providers unload, setting up, fixing drinks, saying the blessing, serving, and clean-up. Youth Leadership Training Each first Sunday, youth assist with communion. Each third Sunday, youth lead children’s moment. Each fourth Sunday, youth lead the morning prayer and usher. We always encourage all our youth to serve! InMotion Youth 'move' occasionally in worship and on Youth Sunday. Rehearsals vary. Any youth interested in joining InMotion, please contact Mrs. Jeannette Braswell. Please contact Hope Whaley, Director of Youth Ministries, for more information. Photo Gallery |
