April 27, 2008 : Conference youth Rally Day NC Wesleyan College - Rocky Mount 300-600 P.M. No Cost Conference Youth Rally Day is an afternoon gathering of youth groups from local churches across the Conference. The Rally is a time for fellowship in faith, worship in praise of God, and a celebration of the place and role of youth in the life of the church.The theme for Rally Day 2008 is Believe It! Live It!. As the Apostle Paul writes to the young disciple Timothy, “Do not let anyone treat you as if you are unimportant because you are young. Instead, be an example to the believers with your words, your actions, your love, your faith, and your pure life.” (I Timothy 4:12) Our Rally Day will feature a carnival of recreation and fellowship activities. Youth groups from local churches are invited to sponsor various activities at Rally Day. We will have inflatable games, volleyball, soccer, softball and much more! After this time of fellowship, we will come together for a worship service with music and messages of Christian faith. We also invite youth groups to share with us in worship through music and drama. |

June 23-28 Louisburg College Summer Breakaway - an event for youth from middle school to high school age - is an exciting week for youth to devote themselves to Christ through a Christian community establishing a strong relationship with God.The theme is Jesus to the Rescue. When we try to face difficulties and the trials of life on our own, alone, then we most times end up in trouble. King David knew this, as is expressed in many of the Psalms. Many who came to Jesus during his three years of ministry had discovered this as well. If we open our hearts and minds and lives to Him, Jesus our Savior will be there. Each day at Breakaway features a morning assembly to celebrate community life, growth groups (by age levels) to focus on spiritual growth, meals in the cafeteria, movie groups (by age levels) to create and produce movies for a film festival at the end of the week, free time with some structured recreation offered, worship services and an evening program (icebreakers, concert, dance, talent show). The week concludes with an inspiring communion service on Friday night.

ACS
is an exhilarating experience for youth to meet God through themselves and others. In this week-long event dedicated to the formal establishment of opinions on relevant issues, youth also attend to the business of the North Carolina Conference UMYFThe theme is Who Are You? Individuals, especially young people, often struggle with questions of identity. Part of that struggle with identity is who we are in Christ, especially in the world we live in today. By asking the question, “who are you?” we can explore God’s purpose for each of us, individually and as a community of faith.
Each day at ACS features legislative affairs sessions dealing with resolutions on current issues, growth groups focusing on spiritual growth, meals in the cafeteria, interest groups on a variety of topics, free time with options for choir and recreation, worship services and an evening program (icebreakers, a speaker, dance, talent show). The week concludes with an inspiring communion service on Friday night. Elections of officers are held along with district meetings to select district representatives to Conference youth committees.
