YOUTH NEWS
Youth Night, Friday, April 9,
7:00 – 10:00 PM

Report of Recent Trip
New Hopes’ youth group attended the AWAKE Christian concert in West Palm the weekend of March 27. It was a great concert that included the musicians’ message “Christians are God’s family.” I believe when our youth get to be with other large groups of Christians they can see that being a Christian can be fun and rewarding.

I had some time to reflect on the weekend and to look closer at the youth we had taken with us. They have so much to offer, but they are struggling with hurts and doubts. They are trying to find who they really are and to be accepted by others. I believe New Hope has given them a place to feel safe. They feel accepted when they are together here. Instead of calling Wednesday night “Youth Group,” they tend to call it ‘Church.” Their Wednesday night experience to them is church.

“Thank you” to all the members of New Hope who have helped by going on youth events and/or providing transportation on Wednesday evenings for those who would not be able to attend otherwise. Thank you for your love of our youth.
