A Road-Trip To Remember
On February 22nd, something exciting happened for the youth of our church. They embarked on a journey to Greensboro, NC, to attend the highly anticipated Winter Jam event. With a Christian Music Worship lineup featuring Crowder, Lecrae, Cain, Katy Nichole, Seventh Day Slumber, and Newsong, it was an event surely to inspire.
The adventure began as the group, accompanied by their chaperones, set off from the Ponderosa around lunchtime. It didn’t take long for the hungry youth to ask their chaperones to make a pit stop at Chick-fil-A. Of course the chaperones were happy to grant their request since our hard-working youth had just put on a Valentine’s Fundraiser the week before when they served all of the adults!
Upon reaching Greensboro, they were greeted by gloomy, raining weather. But the weather couldn’t dampen their spirits. With excitement in the air, they joined the long lines, eagerly waiting to enter the venue.
A Night of Worship and Reflection
As the concert unfolded, the youth were treated to an inspirational display of talent and faith. Each artist brought their unique style and message to the stage, spreading the love and acceptance of Jesus.
Exhausted but Faithful
Finally, after a long and eventful day, they arrived back home around midnight.
Yet, even in their exhaustion, the youth showed their unwavering commitment to their faith. They didn’t let the late night stop them from attending Sunday service the next day. Pastor Harvey expressed his admiration for the youth’s dedication. Sunday he acknowledged their late-night adventure at Winter Jam and commended their presence (albeit sleepy) in the front rows of our barn. Their commitment exemplified the kind of character and Christian spirit that makes him proud to lead our church.
As a church, we couldn’t be prouder of our youth members. Their commitment to volunteering at every church event and their consistent attendance at Sunday services fills us with hope for the future.
