Each Sunday we will explore different elements of the given lectionary scripture text, in order to better understand the context of scripture in the worship service and practical application in our daily lives.

This resource"is exploring new options for interactive learning available through technology, such as CD-Rom and the Internet" (http://www.spiritseasons.com).
the Oasis: Youth Fellowship (for Junior High/Senior High)
Every week the youth come together on Sunday evenings from 5:00 to 8:00 for a variety of activities. We will rotate our actives one week we will have a fun fellowship event, then another week we will play games and have a devotion discussion, and then occasionally we will have a lesson on social topic from a Christian perspective or do a mission/service project. Occasionally, we will have a youth worship service filled with sing, scripture, and prayer. This time is always a place for everyone to have fun, learn, and do God's work.
All seventh to twelfth graders are invited to participate in this fun-filled evening of fellowship.

Mission Trips
These trips are undoubtedly the most fun, fulfilling, and life changing events in which youth ever participate. Most people would scoff at the idea of working for free, especially paying to work, however, the joy you receive from having done something for someone else out of the kindness of your heart that comes from being unselfish with your talents is indescribable. There are separate mission trips for junior high and senior high youth.
Summer Camps
There are many district wide camps that teens are invited to attend. District Camp is for both Junior and Senior High youth, while Dayspring is for Senior High youth. District Camp is designed with a theme relevant to modern day struggles of teens. Dayspring is a discipleship camp designed to assist youth in their personal relationship with God.
Both camps are weeklong; they are located at Camp Canyon near Hinton, OK. Another of the camps that our youth attend is CYME. CYME is a leadership camp that youth lead. For more information on Oklahoma Conference, United Methodist Church camps website.
