 Greetings!

 

He is risen!  He is risen indeed!  I hope that all of you had a wonderful Spring Break week and a blessed Easter Sunday.  It's hard to believe that we have just six weeks left until school is out for summer.

  

April and May will be busy months. We will celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the founding of our church, we will welcome our Confirmands into full membership at APC, and we will say farewell to our graduating Seniors. 

 

There will be a lot going on in the next few weeks, so please keep updated by reading our weekly newsletter and visiting the Youth Website regularly.  I look forward to seeing you at Sunday School and Youth Group on Sunday!

 

In Christ,
Kelly Edwards, Director of Youth Ministries

Weekly Bible Verse
 
2 Corinthians 5:17 ~ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 
 
Christ died so that we would have a new life.  If you were given a clean slate on this very day, what would you do to honor His sacrifice?  How can you live differently?
