Youth Sunday, May 2013

“A Constant Message in a Changing World”

 

First Church Youth created a cohesive worship experience, that resonated with their interpretation of 1:Timothy 4:11-14 and youth culture today.  Listen to the Sunday, May 5 podcast to hear their prayers, music, and reflections.

Thank you to all those who assisted with, participated in, or attended this year’s Youth Sunday worship service.  Our students did a fantastic job!

A special thanks to First Church’s ministers, music staff, juBELLation members, youth committee, and parents of youth.
