Youth & Children
At the August picnic, we started a conversation about our youth. Pastor Bob is requesting basic information from all parents. Specifically, the first name, age, school grade, and open days and times for your children and youth, from infant to 17, and the best way to communicate future meetings and activities.

Why? First, we are working toward a new ministry start for our young people. Second, we need to know how many are available, their ages, and an awareness of their schedule. What day and time would work best?

Some parents have already suggested Sunday after worship. Perhaps we could offer a simple lunch and then have a fun activity. We also want to provide an opportunity for them to grow in the faith. Maybe we could also arrange a service project.

Please forward your information to the church office or give it to Pastor Bob. Knob Noster United Methodist Church, 106 E. Wimer, Knob Noster, MO 65336, Phone 660.563.2724, email knobumc.knumc@gmail.com. Once we have received the information, we will arrange a parent's meeting to discuss the possibilities. Pastor Bob welcomes your ideas. Start praying and expecting.
