Youth Fellowship | Rosina Whitfield, Youth Director

"Youth at Peace" is an active and dedicated group designed and geared toward middle school and high school youth. The goal and mission of Youth at Peace is to grow in a personal relationship with God while also growing closer with each member of the group. Youth at Peace meet on a weekly basis for fellowship, food, fun and Bible study. The youth often carry out service projects such as preparing and serving meals at Greensboro Urban Ministry, visiting residents at local area nursing care facilities, and beautification projects, just to name a few.

Youth at Peace have a lot of fun taking trips during the year. In the past the youth have traveled to the mountains of West Virginia and North Carolina for Snow Skiing Retreat weekends, the beach, and Tennessee for the National Youth Event 2004.

We plan and participate in Sunday morning worship several times through out the year, including the Hanging of the Greens service right before Christmas and Youth Sunday (we get to lead it all that Sunday). We also "liturgicize," (some call it liturgical dance) for worship during liturgical Sundays, such as Pentecost and Easter. It's cool!!

We have fun and work hard, too because we feel we make a difference in our church and in this world. Youth at Peace invite you to be a part of Youth at Peace. There is a place for you here at Peace United Church of Christ. We will save some pizza and ice cream for you!
