Youth Group Meets
The Youth Group of the Vanceboro Pentecostal
Holiness Church held their meeting on Wednesday
night, March 3rd.
Mrs. Alma Dr^e welcomed each one and opened
with each one gixung their prayer request and each
one saying a sentence prayer.
They vyere read an article on The Judgements of
God.
Each one that attends the meetijigs are asked to
write as many words as they would like on WHAT
THE YOUTH MEETINGS MEAN TO ME.
Those that have already been turned in have
blessed their Leaders, more than words could ever
describe. A few of their reasons are as follows: It
gives them a chance to ask questions, they can discuss
problems, keeps young people off the streets, they say
their leaders are God sent, they would love to have it
^^very Wednesday night, they have grown in Christ.
^HSod is first in the meetings and they do things that
are also fun.
I’m sure any Youth Leader sometimes gets
discouraged and think their work’s in vain, but
according to these reports it assures me that God
must surely be pleased with the fruits of our labor. So
I think this is a good way to know what the young
people are learning.
They said The Pledge of Allegiance in unison and
were reminded what the colors stand for and to thank
God for their freedom.
Our Motto: LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE
LOVED YOU. They were encouraged to witness at
every opportunity. But the greatest thing is to let the
joy of the Lord be seen in you by showing LOVE.
Don’t judge people, let God do that. He commands us
to love them.
They sang their theme song “He’s still Working On
Me”, and Mrs. Drake dismissed with prayer.
Everyone had a wonderful time in the Lord.
