GRACE PRESBYTERY YOUTH SPRING WORSHIP CELEBRATION
The Bentwood Trail Presbyterian Youth will join with other youth in the Presbytery for their Spring Worship Celebration on Sunday, May 15 at FPC, Plano. We will meet in the Youth House parking lot at 2:30p.m. and return around 5:30p.m.
The Youth Worship Celebration is an opportunity for the youth of the presbytery to gather to praise God and give thanks. Worship and music leaders are invited from various Grace Presbytery congregations. Speakers are usually members of the senior class, and communion servers are youth from across the presbytery who has been elected by their church to serve as elders and deacons. The Youth Ministry Committee (YMC) recruits a special planning team to organize this service. The first hour of our time spent together is a time of fun, fellowship and food as we gather before the Worship Celebration.
