Youth Worship Service


On February 23, our youth led the Church service. The theme of the service was What If Jesus Came Back Like That? We worked for several weeks to prepare a service that we would be proud to present as a gift to God.

We gave two awards for the second year in a row. One award is the Unsung Hero Award. This was given to Mrs. Dawn Stone for her unrecognized work with the youth of our church. The second award is the Linda Snyder Lifetime Achievement Award. This was given to Mrs. Jean Lambert for all of her work in our church throughout many years. This award is given in memory of Mrs. Linda Snyder, a wonderful lady, who impacted all of the people she met, until the Lord took her home. Mr. Boyd Snyder presented our youth group with a picture of Mrs. Snyder. This picture reminds all of us what the kind of life we should be striving to live.

After presenting the awards, we sang "Angels Among Us" as a way of thanking all of those people who have been angels to us, most of whom don't even know the impact they have made. Before the sermon we sang "What If Jesus Came Back Like That." This song discusses the way Jesus would be treated if he came back as a hobo or a child born to a mother on drugs.

Our sermonettes dealt with the same topics. Melanie Jones, Amy-Jo Everts, and Ashley Stone gave our sermonettes. After the service, we all went to Cici's Pizza with our families. We enjoyed a wonderful time of fellowship and celebration. The youth group would like to thank Mrs. Donna Meixsell for helping teach us the music. Also, we would like to thank Mrs. Elaine and Mr. Wayne for helping us practice for our service.
