Youth Service-success!

A huge thanks to every single student & parent who participated in the youth service, whether you were up front doing something, displayed artwork in the back, or just came to be a part of the service and support the youth group.

I got a brief chance (only a brief one) to brag on the youth group a little bit at the beginning. And I will continue here: I am SO PROUD of our students and the different ways they serve God through their lives. Some kids are musically talented or dramatically inclined (……I mean like in plays and musicals–duh!). Others are super artistic or talented at sports. Still others are beautiful dancers, great at learning/academics, or naturally compassionate, loving people. Any way you look at it, God has created each and every one of us in a unique and special way.

Being the youth pastor of this youth group for the last 5+ years has been such a privilege. Watching many of you grow, change, and love God & others more is overwhelmingly the biggest blessing I get to experience as a youth pastor. Seeing all of that come to fruition in something like a youth-led worship service is humbling.

So, in short: I LOVE YOU GUYS!!
