SUMMARY:Youth Trip to Washington DC (deadline to apply)
DESCRIPTION:When: July 5-11 \nWho: youth ages 12-18 years old \nWhere: General Board of Church and Society \nEstimated Cost per person: about $1\,450 \nAbout the Trip: The Michigan Conference of the United Methodist Church is excited to offer a unique opportunity for our youth to travel to Washington\, D.C. and experience the work of the church beyond the local community. During this trip\, students will partner with the General Board of Church and Society to learn about real-world social issues such as poverty\, justice\, and public policy. \nYouth will not only explore these topics but also gain practical skills in advocacy—learning how to thoughtfully and faithfully engage with leaders\, including how to communicate with a senator or their staff. \nIn addition to this hands-on learning\, we’ll have two days set aside to explore Washington\, D.C.—visiting historic landmarks\, monuments\, and museums while building community and making lasting memories together. \nThis trip is a powerful chance for students to grow in their faith\, deepen their understanding of the world\, and discover how they can make a meaningful impact. \nTo learn more\, please tell Pastor Lindsey and also contact Dokoda Holt-Sharp at dcyf@ludingtonumc.org by May 1 for more information. \nHere are the links to show your interest: \n\n\n\nParent – https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSePMxOlz1Rr_3R596IdROvKNpcQeITNH4-6Atj5u0VsgL4Pqw/viewform?usp=dialog \nYouth – https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScop9hr14wRc4BdTnjkFbmbHVo6lr3xXlwz1AVIQGLwnJ3t7Q/viewform?usp=dialog

SUMMARY:Falling Upward Book Study
DESCRIPTION:Many of us tend to think of the second half of life as largely about getting old\, dealing with health issues\, and letting go of life\, but the whole thesis of this book is exactly the opposite.  What looks like falling down can be experienced as “falling upward.” The book offers practical guidance that you can use to live a life of love and meaning in a world of suffering and challenge. \nLearn how we “grow spiritually much more by doing it wrong than by doing it right.” Understand why so many of us resist falling into the second half of life. \nRegister \nPastor Jon shares that author Richard Rohr is brilliant thinker and a wonderful writer. Father Rohr is a regular Sojourners and Tikkun magazines.
