St. George's UMYF is our fellowship group for youth in grades 7-12. It provides youth an opportunity to deepen their faith relationships, develop and express leadership skills, and to have fun.
UMYF meets on Sundays from 6:00-7:30pm. We share a light dinner (provided by parents in rotation) from 6:00-6:30 and ask that each participant bring $2 to contribute for costs. Our program takes place from 6:30-7:30.
For those interested, Youth Choir (known as the Celebration Singers) meets from 5:00-6:00pm each Sunday evening before Youth Group.
Questions? Contact Karen Emmons, Director of Discipleship Ministries.
Below is our schedule. Changes do happen, so check back frequently.

The UMYF supports a variety of missions. In addition to the ones listed below, we also work on behalf of our church and preschool. We are an active, caring group!
ReCreation Experiences, based in Asheville, NC, "provides groups of youth, adults, and families with opportunities to share their
faith through home repair mission." Each summer, the UMYF and St. George's send a team of youth
and chaperones to work on a home in need. (We take students who have completed 7th through
students who have completed 12th grade.)
Our youth have done everything from painting exteriors and interiors to roofing and putting
on a deck.
We have chosen our date for the 2010 trip. We will be going:
Rising Hope is a United Methodist Church established with the mission of "bringing the power of Christ and the support of the church
to the community living in poverty south of Alexandria, VA along the Route 1 Corridor of Fairfax County." This active community sponsors
a food kitchen, a clothing closet, and a gift closet, among its many church ministries.
The UMYF has visited Rising Hope and helped set up its Vacation Bible School. In addition, we give a portion of every
major fundraiser to its work.
To learn more, visit Rising Hope UMC.
FACETS stands for "Fairfax Area Christian Emergency and Transitional Services. FACETS offers a variety of services including:
Once each year, the UMYF volunteers to prepare and deliver food for the clients of FACETS.
To learn more, visit FACETS.
The youth are doing a fundraiser called "Rock the
Church". A large fiberglass rock may magically appear in your yard - courtesy of a friend
who has sent it on to you and the youth who have delivered it. Instructions for how to pass the rock
on to another person are included.
