For What It’s Worth… Youth Conference

On June 7th our youth will depart the church
parking lot to travel up to North Carolina to
take part in a week-long Youth Conference
located in the mountains of western North
Carolina. It is a long and storied tradition for our church to send the youth to Montreat, and I am very proud for that tradition! It is a true investment…so thank you to all who have supported our youth in this journey!

This year, as in recent years, we will be hosted by Ann and David Bell at their home located in Montreat, NC. This year, unlike previous years, Ann and David Bell are both recovering from some health concerns. It is no small thing to open one’s home to a bunch of teenagers when completely healthy but an even more impressive gift when one is not feeling 100%. Ann and David have been a big part of this church’s Montreat connection all along the way. As a matter of fact, Ann was the one who started the trip back when she led the youth program. It has been a labor of love for them all these years. Thank you!

I ask that you keep this conference in your prayers. Pray for safe travel during the travel up (June 7th) and the travel back (June 14th) and for the adult drivers (Chris, Scott, and Elenie). Pray for Ann and David and their health. Pray for those who will be speaking and leading our youth during the conference and for our back home group meetings each night. And pray, that God’s Holy Spirit will touch each of these young lives taking part in this year’s trip. Here is the list, for your prayers, of those youth in our church participating this year: Ava, Meilene, Michael, Robert, Sammy, and James on workteam.

Blessings,

Your Pastor,
