Youth in Montreat!

Our youth are in NC

A Note from John:


This week, a group of youth and youth volunteers will trek to the mountains of North Carolina for the Montreat Youth Conference. Once there, they’ll spend a week with youth from around the country engaging in powerful worship, deep spiritual growth, games, and having a few snacks along the way. 


The theme of this year’s Montreat youth conference, In•Joy, is not only important for youth, but for people of all ages. In a hectic, uncertain, and sometimes dangerous world, it can be hard to open ourselves up to the joy that God offers us. To help with this, youth at Montreat will be challenged to find how they can embody joy in their schools, churches, and other aspects of their lives.  


While our youth enjoy their Montreat experience, I invite you to participate in two ways.


  • First, you can pray for our youth traveling to North Carolina. While retreats like Montreat can be a great experience, they can also be overwhelming and challenging at times. I know our youth and volunteers would appreciate you praying for the best Montreat possible.


  • Next, I’d ask you to keep in mind how you share joy in your life. Do you find ways to showcase the joy that God brings you? Do you help others find joy in their faith? This week is a great chance to discover how you can be a person of joy.  


Thank you to everyone at Lakeside Presbyterian Church for supporting the youth of this church. The volunteers and youth attending Montreat look forward to seeing you after a very busy week and a few good nights of sleep.
