#justyouth - Our First Youth Church Service

Tomorrow is the big day! Our first youth church service! We've been planning for the last month and a half, getting a small team together to work everything out from the layout and music to the message. 

We are inviting people from 6-9 pm to come and hang out drop-in style with cookies, coffee and tea, games like foosball and ping pong and then there will be a one hour program during that time with music and a message (by Steve) probably lasting about an hour. After the service we'll continue the hang-out time. 

Here is the poster that our friend Vanya (New Hope's worship leader) made up for the event: 
We are going to have people out at the bus stop handing out fliers to draw people in and we've invited everyone we know in every circle - our Christian friends have been told to bring a non-Christian friend because Zaporozhye doesn't need a new church for Christians - there are enough churches that start and just glean people from other churches - we want NEW people who have never met Jesus before who we can love and show how awesome He really is!

Please pray for this event - we want to have one of these every month for the summer and then start more regularly in September so we need a team of people who is willing to prepare for the events with us and we need people who will continue to come. We want relationships, we want people to be able to see Jesus when they walk through the door!

This is really exciting!! I'm praying for you guys; if you keep Jesus at the heart of the message it will be a success because He is the message.
God bless you guys!
