All proceeds will go, specifically, to each youth who serves, in order to earn funds for GCUMC ministries, such as Christian Adventure Camp and Youth Mission Trips. Tickets are $15 each and our on sale today in the Great Hall.

Do you want to help gather items for the Winterfeast Silent Auction?

Often friends and families, who benefit from the Youth Minsitry at GCUMC, want to assist in our

fundraising efforts. Collecting auction items is an easy way to show your support for our Winterfeast fundraiser, whether or not you attend the event. We are seeking items, gift cards, services, and

complete baskets for our silent auction. To help with this event please contact Alice Kinsinger at AKinsing@columbus.rr.com, Brandi Blackstone at brandiblackstone@gmail.com, or Rob Pemberton at 614-403-0140. See the Tower Times for more great ideas.

Spring Retreat

Come and join us for our second annual Spring Retreat, February 24-26. Ok, it’s a little earlier than spring this year, but it will be a great way to prepare for the upcoming season. We will meet at Trinity UMC, Friday at 8pm for registration. The whole weekend will be led by a team or adults from GCUMC, Trinity UMC and students from ONU. The retreat will end at 12pm on Sunday with a pit luck dinner for parents, youth and families. The cost of the retreat is $10 per student and a covered dish for the potluck Sunday lunch.
