What is a Christian, and what is expected of us
What is the Church
What is the Methodist Church

What is Grace
What does it mean to be a member of WCUMC

The class also includes a retreat that will be February 20th-22nd, 2009. (It is expected of you to make the retreat, it is a very important part of the confirmation process).

Graduating Seniors Trip

Location: Road Trip to NY
Contact: Kevin J. Ward
(704) 664-3680

We will be renting two vans and going on a road trip to NYC!!!

Once there, we will most likely serve in a soup kitchen in the morning and then be tourist in the evenings!

Cost will be determined by travel cost, food cost, and activities.

I know lodging will be $75 per person for the week (not free like I thought it would be)!
Travel will most likely be around $200.00 Per person
Then you would need to add on top of that food cost, sight seeing cost and other expenses!
Best guess at this point would be $400ish. NOTE THAT IS A GUESS, NOT THE SET PRICE!!!

This trip is only for Class of 09 Seniors!!!

We will be gone from June 14th-20th, 2009

YOU MUST BE ACTIVE IN AT LEAST ONE YOUTH PROGRAM TO ATTEND (Sunday night, bible study, or Sunday School)
