FUN
FUN -- WHY NAME THIS PAGE FUN?
Why? We did not want you to miss out on Urbana Yoke Parish having fun. We do have fun during Worship, Sunday School, and all those formal activities, but this section is for special events: Halloween, Ugly Sweaters, Special Events, and Whatever-did-not-fit-anywhere-else.
Please enjoy the pictures, of our congregation, as they get out of their comfort zone, as they enjoy life, and as they get caught unaware by the ever present phone or camera.
2024 VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
2024 VBS had lots of energy, excitement, and joy. We were hoping for a few more kids, but sometimes we concentrate so hard on having "numbers" that we fail to see the impact we have on a few. UYP impacted the kids with Bible stories, water games, crawling through a tunnel, crafts, food, and having our church show them we care.
The videos are a glimpse of the day we were honored to have your children join us.
2024 VBS -- THE MUSIC
TRUNK / TREAT 2023
CHURCH IS MORE
THAN SUNDAY MORNING
2022 VBS
INCREDIBLE ME!
BLESSING OF THE FIELDS
Home baked goodies + Coffee + Farmers = UYP's first BLESSING OF THE FIELDS
Please enjoy this video which points out that our farmers know the value of a strong FAITH. Who else would put a seed in the dirt and trust that it would provide for their FAMILY? Each person interviewed grew up FARMING and they hope the next generation will carry on that tradition.
HALLOWEEN 2021
What happens when you hold a trunk or treat?
A very good time.
UGLY SWEATER/TIE SUNDAY
DECEMBER 20, 2020
Wear an ugly sweater to church? Wear an ugly tie to church?
Aren't we supposed to look nice for church?
Who says looking a bit crazy is still not looking nice? Besides, God likes us to have fun.

Phyllis Baker is moving to be closer to her family and UYP wanted to send her off in style. Enjoy.
OPENING ST. PETER'S TIME CAPSULE
As St. Peter's Church was taken down, the rumor of a time capsule began. Was there one? Yes! What was in it? Did the item(s) stand the test of time? Watch the video and see. (The videos were shot at the last minute, so apologies for the sound quality.)
HALLOWEEN 2019
From the Urbana and surrounding community, they came to the 2019 UYP Trunk and Treat! We had decorated cars, chili, hot dogs, donuts, games, candy and more candy. Thank you to all the church members who worked, supplied candy, or came to enjoy the evening. Thank you to all the parents for bringing your kids and enjoying the evening with them. We also hope you will join us in worship. (We have fun there too!)
Halloween 2018
Urbana, Indiana is a small town. Very small! Being small means the kids do not have an over abundance of doors to knock on for trick or treat. Having a few members of the congregation who are blessed with over-active imaginations, cars, hot chocolate, and hot dogs, we turned our grassy area into a trunk or treat. Enjoy these pictures. -- CHECK OUT PASTOR LARRY IN THE FIRST PICTURE!
