Youth Ministry Announcement, Chicken Dinner and more
Dear Family of God,
Would you pray with us through the transition?
On Tuesday night, Pastor Chris shared with the youth ministry family that God has called him to serve as a prison chaplain in Loretto, PA. This means that we are moving into a transition season as we wrap up Chris’ time of service with us and prepare for what’s next in youth and young adult ministry. We are so grateful for the last four years we have shared with Pastor Chris and Emily. And we believe that God is going to use this transition to strengthen our youth and young adult ministry. Just as God called Chris to take this next step, He is preparing our youth and young adult ministry for their next step. So, please pray with me as we begin to plan the best path forward for this transition.
Read more about the transition here.
Let’s pray for “endurance and encouragement” through this transition so that we can live into this blessing from Paul in Romans 15:5.
“May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 15:5)

I conclude this message with the theme verse for Nazarene Youth Conference and our memory verse for the last part of our Romans series:
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
We’re praying for you. Will you pray for us?
