Wonders in the Woods
Registration is Past DUE!  Camps are filling fast on a first-come-first-served basis! 

What is Assembly?
Assembly is a hundred-year-old-plus ministry of the Holston Conference UMC!  This year, Assembly will be at Tennessee Wesleyan College.  This is an amazing opportunity to connect deeply with Christ.  It is without a doubt a favorite of the youth who have attended in the past. Youth stay in college dorms and eat in the cafeteria.  We will have a daily speaker & worship music, a fantastic concert, very meaningful family group time, lots of organized fun and plenty of free time.  Youth will also sign up for daily interest groups that include the option to explore worship arts such as song writing, acting, art, photography, etc.  Register through Broad Street and receive $40 off the registration fee.  More details can be found on the forms tab above.

April 14 - Make a Difference Day!
On Saturday, April 14, we will partner with Habitat for Humanity in Century Village to assist with landscaping for 19 homes.  Century Villiage is located near Blythe-Bower Elementary.  Our youth built a house there a few summers ago. We will be working from 8am-12pm, but any length of time will be wonderful!  Families are invited to work together.  Adult supervision for youth who are participating without a parent will be provided from 10am-12pm.  Work waiver forms are required and will be available onsite.
