FUMC YOUTH RETREATS at JOHN WESLEY RANCH
We have at least two Youth Retreats at John Wesley Ranch Retreat Center each year. One is in the Fall and one in the Winter. The Ranch is FUMC's awesome get-away up in the mountains, just south of Divide, Colorado. These events focus on a specific topic for spiritual growth for the entire weekend with lots of food and fun mixed in.  

All details are mailed out ahead of time, so make sure we have you on our mailing list by contacting Zach Walker at 719-471-8522 or zachw@fumc-cs.org. Prior to a retreat, information will also be available here and in our publications.  Consider joining us!

What to Pack for Retreat

Serving others as Christ is one of the "big three" reasons our ministry exists (the other two reasons are "Inviting Friendships" and "Digging Deeper Spirituality"). Mission opportunities abound for our youth! There are times throughout the year to serve locally and each summer, we gather up all the energy and God's love we can to go out beyond our community to serve those in need. We often think we are "taking Christ" to others, but what we find He is already there within those we serve and relate to. Consider joining us and finding God by serving.

Dear Hope in an Envelope Supporter,

I want to thank you for believing in and supporting the young adults of our congregation. They will be sharing God’s grace in many contexts this summer and throughout the coming year. The goal is to raise funds for the future and to support the ongoing Missions of our community and the work these young adults will do.  And with you, we can do it!

Although we are still navigating the ever-changing, summer schedules we still stand with resolve in our mission which has not changed; we will continue to INVITE fellowship, DIG deep spiritually, and SERVE all like Jesus did…its method just evolves.

We HOPE to gather this summer. We HOPE to serve together this summer. We have HOPE in Jesus and will be led into the future where the mission continues. Our campaign is from May 1 through May 19.

DIRECTIONS ONLINE:
Simply donate what you are able. During our in-person campaigns in the past, you would have chosen an envelope numbered $1-$200. We are grateful for any amount you can give.

Go to: fumc-cs.org, Youth page, Hope in an Envelope tab

DIRECTIONS IN-PERSON (Hospitality Center):
First: Chose an envelope on which there is a dollar amount printed on the outside. This is your donation amount.

Second: There is another smaller envelope enclosed with this letter. Please be sure to write your contact information on this smaller envelope, place your donation check inside of it (made out to “FUMC” with “Hope Envelope” in the memo line).

Please return the small envelope one of three ways:

1. Hope in an Envelope table in the Hospitality Center on Wednesdays, May 5, 12, or 19.
2. Mail to FUMC 420 N Nevada Ave Colorado Springs CO 80903, ATTN Youth Ministry.
3. Give to me, Zach Walker, Director of Youth Ministry.

Please be sure to fill out your contact information so we can contact you about upcoming Youth Events.

Once again, thank you so much for believing in our FUMC Youth. May God bless you and all of our wonderful FUMC congregation who make it possible for young adults to grow spiritually and serve others with God’s love. There is a movement here!
