VA YOUTH UNITE – Sunday, October 15 – 5:00 – 7:30pm – Arcola UMC
Galilee is partnering with Arcola UMC to “amp up the joy” with an event event full of music, fellowship and food for youth groups from our entire UMC VA Conference. Bands include Arcola’s own Joy Collective Praise Band and Richmond’s Victor Neal and the New Life Music.
An early bird event fee of $12 ($18 after October 1) includes dinner.
To register for the event, go to galileeumc.org/va-youth-unite to register.
We’re offering a variety of carpools to this event, so click here to indicate your transportation needs/plan.
*Note that this event replaces our usual Sunday Night Youth Group for that week.
We’re planning a Trunk or Treat on Sunday, Oct 22 but we need to know we have enough decorated cars and other volunteer slots filled in order to proceed. Sign up now!
Decorate a car or help with the event Sunday, October 22 from 3:00 to 5:00pm in the Galilee parking lot (and gym in case of inclement weather).
Please sign up before October 1st. We cannot do Trunk of Treat without plenty of decorated cars and helpful goblins like you! A sufficient number of volunteers must be in place in order to run the event.
We welcomed 25 kids to Big Game Night on August 20. Who were we missing? YOU! Come join us at our next event.
Monday, July 10- Friday, July 14
Galilee SummerServe, designed for middle school students to share God’s love through volunteer service in the local community, was a total blast.

Galilee has a heart for the food insecure! At Youth Summer Venture, we gleaned food at a farm and worked with a food agency to distribute the food
It wasn’t all work! We stayed in cabins at Occohannock on the Bay Camp & Retreat Center in the Eastern Shore and enjoyed the fun of summer camp. We had and amazing time by the beauty of the bay.
