Youth Involvement at North Highlands
We consider it a wonderful blessing and privilege to be able to work with such a wonderful group of young people! They continue to do amazing things and make us proud to be their youth ministers. It seems like everywhere we take them, total strangers come to us and compliment them. They are the future of the Church, and the future is looking bright!
As youth ministers, we are continually learning. The devil is in full attack mode against young people today. I believe it is more difficult than ever to be a young Christian in America today. Therefore, we have to stay on our toes in order to beat him! Consider a couple of scriptures: 1 Corinthians 15 :33, "Be not deceived: evil companions corrupt good morals" and 1 John 1:7 "But if we walk in the light, as Heis in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us · from all sin". The more time Christians spend together, the easier it is to walk in the light. We strive to give opportunities for this youth group to spend time together and be with other Christians from other congregations.
Now, consider another passage: "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith" Galatians 6:10. Along with fun events, devos, youth conferences and so on, we try to provide opportunities for the youth to do good works for those in need.
Thank you for the privilege of serving as your youth ministers. Thank you for all the prayers and encouragement. Thank you young people for making this such a joy to us both. We look forward to another great year of growing closer to God and one another.
