    Conference Sports Day

    Conference Sports Day is a fun day for the youth of the district.  Utila was well represented!  

Participants from Utila Ten youth of the Utila Methodist Community College and Mizpah Methodist Church, along with Profesora Angela and Director Carlota, traveled to Belize for the youth activities. Also pictured here is UMCC Board Chair Kim Funez who was a lay delegate to conference.

Our youth joined others from Roatan and La Ceiba to make the 24 hour trip bus from La Ceiba through Guatemala to Dangriga.  At least the bus was nice! 24 hours on the bus... Each way!

Lots of youth Participation in the event was great.  Several of the youth who traveled to Dangriga are pictured on the city field.

Sports varied from soccer to basketball to the three legged race pictured here. Three legged race

Rev. Bennett dons the UMCC "uniform" Yes, Reverend Bennett was a part of Team Utila for the day. Here he is pictured with three legged race participants Candice and Naomi. 

That night a Festival of Praise was held, featuring presentations of drama and music from Methodist schools and churches throughout Belize and Honduras.  I was impressed by the considerable talent I witnessed.
