Petition Text: 23027-GJ-274-D

We propose that a day of celebration for children and youth of The United Methodist Church be observed annually, preferably on the third Sunday during the month of June. The purpose of this celebration is to promote, encourage, nurture, and enhance programs for children and youth ministries in the life of the Church through worship, praise, readings, recitations, and music on their own special day. Children and youth, under the guidance of the pastor and children's and youth coordinators, will conduct the worship services on this Sunday. Special recognition for children and youth who have been faithful to God, family, school, and church will encourage and inspire children to take more seriously participation in the mission and ministry of God's church.
