YOUTH NEWS
Our own Nik Gameti (Naperville) was among members of the Church of the Brethren National Youth Cabinet who met in Elgin Feb. 2-4 to work on a theme for this year’s National Youth Sunday. The cabinet selected Jeremiah 29:11 as their focus scripture, with the theme “Your life; God’s direction.” Congregations are invited to celebrate the leadership of their high school youth by participating in National Youth Sunday, with a suggested date of May 5. Other members of the cabinet include Felisha Diamond of Eden, N.C.; Sebastian Eikler of Goshen, Ind.; Autumn Sauder of Mount Joy, Pa.; and Calla Stoltzfus of Elizabethtown, Pa.; with adult advisor Tony Price, pastor of Cedar Grove Church of the Brethren in Ohio; and staff member Becky Ullom Naugle, director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry for the Church of the Brethren. Worship resources, written by the cabinet, will be made available at www.brethren.org/yya/national-youth-sunday.
