Youth Sunday

Posted on April 20th, 2009

Yesterday, our youth led our Sunday morning worship service.  It was great seeing fourteen of our youth do everything from the chiming of the hour, reading scripture and litanies, praying, giving the Children’s Lesson, doing a skit, leading congregational singing, playing the piano, and giving the message. We are very proud of your youth for leading the service and for their willingness to use the talents that God has given them to share the Good News.

Liz Chassey and Sarah Cave (pictured above, far left), two high school seniors and best friends gave the message called “Holy Neon.”  They had a conversation about the journey they shared in their friendship and their faith, and how they are looking forward to God leading them into the future as freshmen at Longwood University.  You can listen or download their message by visiting this link.

After the service, our youth and children sponsored a spaghetti lunch and dessert auction fundraiser that raised over $900!  All proceeds from this fundraiser will go toward helping our children and youth attend Passport Kids and Passport Choices camp this summer.  Many thanks to Ken Copeland, our auctioneer, and to all the members, parents, youth and children who donated desserts, cooked and served the meal, cleaned up, AND bought desserts!
