Parents' Corner

Parents we are excited and thankful that you are willing to bring your sons and daughters to First UMC Youth Ministry events each week.

We understand how busy life can be and that sometimes it is difficult to get excited about dropping off your students and then picking them back up (we also know that sometimes it's easy to get excited about dropping off your student!)
