The
United Methodist Men (UMM) hold their monthly meetings with
programs varying in topics on Christian mission. The men
sometimes share a meal before their meeting. Our
meetings are held on the fourth Thursday of each month at
6:00pm.
United
Methodist Youth Fellowship
The
United Methodist Youth Fellowship (UMYF) is an active group of
youth led by committed leaders. This is the training
ground for the forming of relationships and the sharing of
experiences in preparation for tomorrow’s church leaders.
The youth take part in several community activities and
unusually have several group trips each year. Our Jr.
UMYF is geared toward middle school aged teenagers and meets
on Sunday evenings at 6:00pm.
Our Sr. UMYF is for high school aged teenagers and
meets on Wednesday evenings at 7:00pm.
Children’s
Program
In
addition to the Sunday School Department, we have a Wednesday
evening program of children’s activities, which offers a
variety of programs for pre-school thru 5th grade. We
meet at 5:45pm for our “Joyful Noise Makers” hand bell
ministry practice, then have a snack and Bible lesson and
craft.
Outreach
Mission Ministries
The
Calvert City United Methodist Church has interests in local,
national and global outreach. It is our tradition to
support United Methodist missions in full. This is a
meaningful way in which we reach out as a “connectional”
church.
There
are many local mission projects which we support:
Christmas food baskets, the Calvert City Ministerial Alliance,
Marshall County Caring Needline, Calvert/Sharpe Family
Resource Center, recycling ventures and many more. Both
District and Conference missions are supported
congregationally and through individual service.
As
of October 2006, Calvert UMC has opened a food pantry for the
citizens of Marshall County that need assistance called The
Open Hearts Food Pantry. It is open the third Monday of each month from 5:00pm to 7:00pm in the
Fellowship Hall of our church.
