Youth Group
Meetings take place periodically from September to May,
and vary based on the event
United Reformed Church Youth Group invites all children in 6th grade through high school to join us for variety of community service activities and fun fellowship time together. A few examples of past service include: preparing meals for the Samaritan Homeless Interim Program, organizing toiletry collections and assembling health kits to be distributed by the Food Bank Network of Somerset County, providing baskets with baked treats for and visiting the elderly, participating in the CROP Hunger Walk and much more. Fun activities include: hosting fundraisers during the Peter Mayer concert, arts and crafts, games and of course sharing pizza. Community service projects completed by our youth have been featured by the Courier News, TAPinto Somerville and acknowledged by New Jersey Assemblyman Jack M. Ciattarelli.
Gathering time varies based on the event. No need to be a member, just a willingness to enjoy Christian fellowship, as we “love all, serve all”. Friends are always welcome! Please call the church office at 908-725-4545 if you would like more information.
Some Examples of Youth Group Projects
Youth Group Toiletry Drive
Every year, the Youth Group holds a toiletry drive and assembles "hygiene kits" for local organizations to hand out to those in need. In the last decade, our youth have assembled hundreds of hygiene kits for the community.
Little Library
We have a Little Library out in front of URC. This is a community library where people can freely exchange children's books. Our youth constructed and installed this great addition to Main Street.
