MYF
The Methodist Youth Fellowship evolved from a Methodist boys’ club organized by Jean Walstrom in 1949. Two years later girls were admitted and with 25 young people in the group the MYF was inaugurated with Mrs. Walstrom as sponsor. This group served as choir for church services. Through MYF efforts the Christ in Gethsemane stained glass church window was realized. The MYF became known for their beautiful Good Friday and Christmas Eve services, music, church drama, and caroling activities, which included taking treats to the sick and elderly. Some social activities included roller skating parties, campfire singing, wiener roasts and barn dances at the Walstrom farm. They have been active in the highway litter pick up and have a haunted house and Halloween party each year for young trick-or-treaters. Contact Stacy Miller, (402) 841-2754 for more information.
