Working with the Youth has its share of comings and goings ...

Every year, in the spring, it is time for our High School Seniors to graduate.  On May 3rd, RUMC celebrated Graduation Sunday, a time to acknowledge the contributions of our young people before they assume the responsibilities and privileges of adulthood.

Zach Fox receives his Linda Campbell scholarship award from former Hillsborough Co. School Superintendent, Dr. Earl Lennard, while RUMC Pastor Tom Bridges looks on.

This year, it was also time to welcome a new crop of Middle Schoolers to the Fusion Youth Group.  On Sunday, April 26th, our new Middle Schoolers and their parents held a kickoff meeting in the Ford Youth Building.  There is now both a Sunday school and a youth group just for our Middle Schoolers.
