I hope everyone is having a good week so far.
Mr. Ron needs HELP!
Two or three youth are needed on Friday, September 3rd to pick up some items for our Junk for Jesus sale. Mr. Ron will meet you at FUMC PSJ at 4:00 pm and then bring you to do the pickup. You would then unload all the items and put into the Tucker House garage.
If there is anyone who would be able to do this, please contact Mr. Ron at 631-0407 or me at 243-2812.
Thanks so much and have a great week.

Hi youth, parents & leaders:
Because Mic was sick and I had personal issues all last week, we dropped the ball in sending an email or calling everyone requesting that you be at the church at 7:45 on Sunday. We would like to do a quick run through of how the services are going to go.
If there are any band members (Alex, Josh, Nic, Matt) or singers (Billy, Lindsay, Hailey or Taylor) that are unable to be there at that time, please call me ASAP.
I know this is short notice and we apologize for this last minute request.
Linda
There were so many awesome ideas for a new youth group name. Thank you to everyone who contributed. A decision was finally made and the official name of the FUMC PSJ Youth Group is…
The Outlet – Youth Plugged Into Christ
Thanks Lindsay and Nic!
I think the mailman got a hernia today!! Our youth group was delivered a special package today from His Mansion Ministries… okay, it’s a rock… No, seriously, we got a rock! It’s a twenty-five plus pound granite rock with the His Mansion logo painted on it. In years past, we have always brought home a unique memento from our mission trips. This year, we talked about it while we were up there, but weren’t sure how we would get home one of those special New Hampshire rocks. While they are certainly common and easy to come by, they obviously aren’t lightweight! Given that we all had a weight limit on our suitcases; it just didn’t seem to be a possibility! However, our friends up at His Mansion knew of our desires and they made it happen. Not sure who painted the detailed logo, but it is beautiful. Not that we ever would forget our special trip, but this exclusive rock will be a continual reminder of all God did in our lives while were there. Thank you His Mansion family for once again touching our lives.
Sometimes when God calls us to do community service, we don’t always react as He wishes. We tend to grumble and groan, and yes, even avoid it. So very happy to tell you that yesterday, your youth reacted exactly as Christ desired. Twelve wonderful young people came to mulch the prayer garden and paint the fence out by the shed. They worked quickly and then asked what else could be done! Everyone shared in the work… and shared in the paint!!! I don’t think there was one child or adult leader who left without paint on them or their clothes! The result may have been dismay with their moms as they tried to figure out how to get the paint out of their clothes, but for sure, God was pleased! Thanks to all who showed up and gave it their all! Enjoy the photos and see everyone next week as we share in study of God’s word led by Matt!

We were all able to live for days without our cell phones during our mission trip. It was wonderful not to have all those text messages and calls all the time. Well, the adults thought so. 
Just so that there are no distractions during youth group, the leaders came up with the idea of the ’90 Minutes For Jesus’ basket which went into effect on July 11th. Everyone who walked in the door was expected to put their cell phones and iPods into the basket so they would be distraction free! There wasn’t one person who wasn’t okay with this idea and the attention was where it was needed to be – to study, worship and fellowship.
Thank you youth group for being so cooperative. You are awesome!
Miss Linda
Note to parents: Mic and Linda will keep their cell phones close just in case you need to contact your child in the event of an emergency.
We need a name
The FUMC PSJ youth group needs a youth name and logo. We would like everyone to come up with something and bring your ideas to youth on August 8th. The only youth group that I am familiar with is FUMC Cocoa. Their name is The Underground. Does anyone know of others? If so, please write them in the comments section.
Put on those thinking caps!
Blessings.
We know everyone has expressed their opinion about wanting to go back to His Mansion, and for the most part, everyone would like to go back. The trip is quite expensive between the flight, extra activities and anytime we go out to eat.
So we would like to start a “Hill Bucket” for offering every Sunday that we have youth. This money will go towards going back to His Mansion next summer if everyone really wants to. So youth and leaders, if this is something you would really like to do, start emptying your pockets each day and bring your loose change to youth every Sunday.
Blessings.
Welcome to the new Home of the First United Methodist Church Port St. John Youth Group! We are in the process of transforming our site into a useful tool to keep youth, parents and our congregation in the loop on what is going on with the Youth Ministry.
Stop back by and see the new site…
God Bless!
As I sit here waiting for our time to leave, I am a little sad. As I told the ladies of His Mansion in a letter I left for them, this place is an amazing example of what God wants Christian community to be like. Each and every person here, whether staff or resident, is worshipping the same Lord, desiring to strengthen their relationship with Him. Whether they came here because as resident because they were hurt or broken or they came here to share what God has done in their lives with others, they came here to have a close encounter with our living Lord and Savior.
