Weekly Devotion
“God of endless light, you sent a star—
rising from darkness,
guiding seekers and sages,
overwhelming us with joy.
Let the splendor of your dawning light
grow in us and in all the world
until the whole creation shines with your glory;
through Jesus Christ our light.”
-Matthew 2:1-12 / Years ABC

Youth Parent Program: Who is Gen Z?
|
This Sunday evening at 6pm (Jan. 12), we invite each of you to our parent program: Who is Gen Z?
During this time, we’ll take a look into today’s youngest generation. Join guest speaker Rev. Michelle Thomas-Bush, Associate Pastor for Youth and Their Families at Myers Park Presbyterian Church, for a conversation around Gen Z, their relationships with other generations and what role both parents and the church might play.
This is a free event that includes dinner. When you bring your youth to PYC, stay for the dinner and program, which will conclude around 7:45pm.
Please register
