 | | REVIVAL THOUGHTS |
Break up your fallow ground. In breaking up your fallow ground, you must remove every obstruction...Break up all the ground and turn it over. Do not balk at it, as the farmers say; do not turn it aside for little difficulties; drive the plough right through them, beam deep, and turn the ground all up, so that it may all be mellow and soft, and fit to receive the seed and bear fruit a hundred fold.

A 'new' year begins!
School begins. Congregations unfold fall programs. And youth plan their schedules! Mark your calendars now for Conclaves 2014: Feb. 21-23 and Feb. 28-Mar. 2.
These fun, faith-filled retreat weekends for middle and high school youth are led by our presbytery's Youth Connection Council (PYCC). These weekends at Cho-Yeh enable youth groups to grow closer together, connect with other youth from our presbytery, engage in Bible Study and small groups, participate in mission projects, experience dynamic worship, and of course have fun playing games and making new friends!
