Fall District Events

November brought the first taste of winter with an early snow, but it did not stop the three district Youth events held on consecutive weekends.

Albany/Mohawk/Oneonta/Albany Districts
Friday/Saturday, November 8/9

We had a very successful event in Albany this weekend with approximately 45 in attendance!! Thank you to the youth and adults who did an awesome job from Adirondack, Mohawk, Oneonta and Albany districts!! You all are amazing!

Genesee Valley/Crossroads/Finger Lakes
Saturday, November 16

Our multi-district youth event was held at Rush UMC and Faith UMC with 7 churches represented. Our ‘journey’ started with worship and games at Rush and then moved to Faith for more games, dinner and closing worship.

Thanks to all the adults and CCYM youth for making this event successful.

Cornerstone/Mountain View Districts
Saturday, November 23

Cornerstone and Mountain View Districts held a regional youth gathering at Christ UMC in Olean NY.  There were 24 youth and 11 adults representing 7 different churches. We worshiped, held family group, participated in 2 workshops (How do I pray? & How can I be filled with the holy spirit?), ate great snacks and lunch, and played lots of 9 square in the air!

Youth adults really enjoyed themselves and grew closer to Christ.  We are so thankful we did this!
