May 2022Your offering last week empowered ministry within our congregation and responded to the needs of our community. It also supported the work of Discipleship Ministries to resource those involved in ministry with youth and young adults. This includes the quadrennial youth gathering, to be held next year in Daytona Beach, Florida! Youth 2023 will run from July 25-28, 2023. It continues a tradition that traces back to the first event held in 1988!
“…we have shared in the collective uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic. That sense of uncertainty has been multiplied because of what some see as an uncertain future for our denomination. All the more reason to bring the spirit, energy, and resiliency of youth together in one place at the YOUTH event. We believe that the young people who come to YOUTH 2023 will set an example for the church itself – demonstrating how to come together in Christian fellowship and celebrate our shared call to grow as world changing disciples of Jesus Christ, no matter the obstacle.” - From the YOUTH 2023 announcement
Ministries like these happen, thanks to the way the people of The United Methodist Church live and give connectionally. I invite you to give generously, as we worship God through sharing our gifts, tithes, and offerings.
