Youth News

What a wonderful weekend we had last week. Twenty seven of

us traveled to Pigeon Forge for the Challenge Youth

Conference. The speakers were fantastic and the singing was

wonderful. Lonnie Jones was our featured speaker on Saturday

and Sunday. The theme of the weekend was “Storms” and

there were 12,500 in attendance!

About 95 came forward including Cheryl Brooks and Rachel

Duggins from our congregation. Be sure to keep them in your

prayers.

Fourteen others were baptized. I couldn't be prouder of our

group. Everyone was a great example to those around us.

Thank you to Carl and Connie Wood for making our dinner on

Friday night, along with chaperoning and providing snacks.

Same goes for Julie McKaskle for making Saturday lunch and

dinner with the help from Mandy Cocke and Joanna Jackson.

We had a great ride, no broken down bus and no police car

rides like last year! Tom Todd did a terrific job of driving the

bus. I saw a lot of selfies being taken, so stay tuned for more

pictures! Check out the board in the lobby. Carol Todd

Expect an answer. If no answer is desired, why pray?

True prayer has in it a strong element of expectancy.

“When he asks, he must believe and not doubt.” James 1:6
