This was also the first time that two TridentTechnical College students attended the UMStudent Forum which was held in Evansville,

Indiana this year. Shadana Moses and JulietHawkins used their extensive dance back-ground to participate in the liturgical dance inthe Saturday evening worship service. JustinRitter and Jackson Kimbrell also learn muchabout the structure and polity of the UMC.

This was the 8th summer that spent 10 dayswith the Conference Youth Choir known as theSpirit Singers. It was 10 days of beautiful mu-sice and joyful fellowship. The initial churchtour was a whirlwind of singing and meetingwonderful people in our great conference.

Congratulations to all of the HS seniors. Re-member to look for your Wesley Foundationfamily when you arrive at your prospective col-leges.
