The work teams was composed of youth, with one or two adult leaders per team. They performed home repair work to disadvantaged and poor families This November, a retreat weekend to Camp Don Lee on the beautiful Neuse River. Information will follow soon. A Spring Spiritual Retreat is scheduled for both groups each April. During weekly meetings, the groups meet together at first to share a snack and fellowship time.
Meetings end with a sharing of joys and concerns and close with the UMYF prayer.
Youth missions is a strong area for Macedonia. In November, the youth shopped and delivered bags of groceries to a needy family in our community. They participated in Franklin Graham's Operation Christmas Child , by wrapping and delivering 75 shoe boxes filled with toiletry items, small toys and school supplies, and shipping to children in underpriviledged countries. This summer they will travel to Tennessee- there will be two work crews. We are very proud of this mission project and the life experience it provides our youth.
