Tuesday's reflections on Sunday's sermon

Youth Sunday
May 2nd

The youth of the church are very important. They are bright lights and committed to reaching out to make their faith something that is acted out as well as professed.

They will be in charge of the worship services in the chapel at 8 and in the sanctuary at 9:15 and 10:45.

Their theme is "This I Believe"

They will have three speakers in the service and their messages will center around aspects of their faith.

1. One of them will speak on "heroes of faith"

2. One of them will address the subject "Why commit to faith"

3. One of them will introduce "The struggles of faith"

It is important to hear the youth of our church and we really could benefit from hearing them more frequently. Youth Sunday has always been a high point in the church year.

I was in attendance at the Youth Leadership Council when they selected their themes. There was no hesitation and no prodding from Joel or any of the other adults. These young people have definite ideas and they have the passion to share their thoughts.

We are very fortunate to have the kind of young men and women in our congregation. They are a tribute to their parents and they will make us proud.

If you would like to send a message of encouragement to the youth you can send it to my email address. Write me at charlesschuster@fcfumc.net. If you would like to send a message to the youth that everyone of us can read click on the box below.

I and the youth look forward to hearing from you.
