Preschool
This August the church is very excited to announce that it has successfully started a new small preschool for 4 year old children preparing for kindergarten. The class is geared to teach the children the skills they need to begin their school careers while, teaching them christian morals and principles.

Tubing Trip
On July 31, 2007, the Williamstown United Methodist Youth Group went on an exciting white water adventure tubing down the Big South Fork National River near Cumberland Falls. Both the kids and adults had a wonderful time. There's nothing quite like getting soaked as you go tubing down the river on a hot July day.

Along Life's Path
"This year Mark Manis has published his first book of poetry entitled: Along Life's Path: Experiences Through Poetry.  Through his sales he was able to successfully raise and donate $100.00 to the Williamstown UMC Youth Group.  Anyone interested in purchasing a copy of his book should see Mark to get in on future orders.

VBS 2007
Avalanche Ranch
This years Vacation bible school was a huge success.
With plenty of excitement and activities to go around there was no shortage of fun. It is truly a blessing to see how eager the children are to learned about the Lord.

Winter Blitz 2007
On January 26th-28th, the United Methodist Youth Group set off for "Winter Blitz" in Louisville, Kentucky. There was plenty of fun and exciting things for everyone to do.   Each day the party kicked off with a kick butt Christian band called the "Robbie Seay Band".  Not only could they rock the house but they’re inspirational songs set
the mood for the entire event. You could always expect lots of laughter in the house with "Maddogs and Englishmen". They were an improvisation team full of jokes and humor with a dramatic twist. The highlight of the retreat was Dr. Lori Salierno.  She was a spirited motivational speaker who didn’t beat around the bush when addressing the issues our youth face day to day.  Dr. Salierno was able to reach the kids on their level.  She told stories and used personal experiences to teach the kids how to deal with the problems today’s teenagers face. One of the really cool things that set the Williamstown United Methodist Youth Group apart was during Saturday’s free time session.  The group chose to volunteer at "Wesley Manor", which is a retirement home local to the area. They spent time caring to the needs of the elderly by Singing songs performing drama and playing Bingo. Caitlin Pillows played the trumpet and Melinda Morgan wowed them on the piano. Afterwards there was plenty of time for swimming a socializing with other youth groups. Everyone was truly inspired and touched by the Holy Spirit.  Can’t wait till next year!
