April 8 – No UMYF, Happy Easter!

April 22 – Instead of UMYF, we’ll attempt to dominate the Kickball Game at the Family Picnic at Palmetto Islands County Park from noon – 3pm.  There will be no UMYF that evening, since we’ll still be basking in the glow of our victory.  That trophy sure will look good in our new Youth Room!
