Holy Trinity provides fun and Christian
education at Youth Conference
BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY
FOR THE CHRONICLE
On Saturday, Aug. 22, the Holy Trinity Full Gospel
Fellowship Center, 5307 Peters Creek Parkway in
Winston Salem, held the first part of its annual Youth
Conference with the theme "As He works, watch me
work," derived from Philippians 2:12-13.
The conference included children from the church as
well as the surrounding neighborhoods, ranging from ele
mentary to high school students.
The events of Saturday included a spelling bee, a
"Let's Make a Deal Game Show," "106 & Park" Gospel
edition, as well as a panel discussion addressing many
issues youth face on a daily basis.
There was also a performance from the church
Christian rap group The Tribe of Judah, which set a posi
tive tone for the day's events.
This years' theme of "As He works, watch me work,"
focused on the need for young people to understated the
importance of working to achieve positive results and use
the good that God has instilled within us, church officials
said.
"God is working within us to will and do of his good
pleasure," said Darrell Jeter, a youth leader and assistant
minister with the church.
Saturday's panel discussion was thought-provoking
and enabled the children to engage with the panelists on
issues such as dealing with bullies at school, relationships
with their parents and putting forth maximum efforts in
every endeavor they encounter in everyday life.
Panelist Joseph Miller broke into tears while express
ing his views on the importance of hard work to the chil
dren.
The spelling bee was called exciting, and the Christian
artist shown in the "106 & Park" Gospel edition opened
the young people's eyes to an artist with a positive mes
sage and godly views.
The conference has been in existence for over a decade
and has recently transitioned into a two-day event, which
concluded Sunday with activities such as the youth "on
fleek" for Christ Sunday service with a mock talk show,
games for the children and school supplies donated by
church members for the children for the new school year.
