PARENTS ONLY

Parents' Information Station!
With the new building and all the new doors where do you drop your youth off or pick them up?
All youth events at Shiloh UMC will be using the new set of doors on the back side of the building.

Parents' Blog
Do you have any questions, comments, or concerns about the your youth or Youth Ministry of Shiloh UMC? Would you like to share an idea or resource with other parents?
Feel free to write about events, theology, vision, reflection, you name it. If you have questions, there are more than likely other youth or parents that have similar questions.
You can even ask anonymously so your youth won't be embarrassed!
This is a nice easy way for us all to be on the same page!
