Erika and Allie are finally home! After 24 hours of travel and a night in New York City, they both made it home safely this afternoon. We continue to pray for the groups that our still navigating ways home and give thanks that all 9 of us made it home safely (even if it was later than we expected).

We had an absolutely incredible week filled with fun, learning, and growing our relationships with one another. Excitingly, the 2027 youth gathering will be in Minneapolis! I would encourage you all to volunteer in some way so you can see just what an impact this type of event can have on the young people of our church. As volunteer applications become available in 2026, more information will be available.

Again, thank you so much for your generosity, prayers, and the on-going support of our youth ministry. This would not have been possible without such a wonderful community, and I am grateful that we get to be apart of it.

Peace,

Julene
