Leaders needed for Council on Youth Ministries

 

Conference Council on Youth Ministries (CCYM) needs YOU!  www.epaumcyoungpeople.org

Last year, CCYM put this purpose statement together:   "Eastern Pennsylvania CCYM is a God-driven team of student leaders connecting youth in churches with others throughout their region in Fellowship, Service, and Christian Love" - CCYM has a large task ahead of them and we need your help!   We can have a total of 36 youth and 12 adults on CCYM.  We currently have 5 youth and 3 adults. 

The youth on this team fully believe it is their ministry to reach out to the youth in our local churches.  However, without a larger representation of the youth in our conference, we can't move on!  Do you know a youth or adult that may be interested in serving on CCYM?  Would you like more information?  You can go to our new (under construction, but usable) website. Fill out the form and someone will respond.  www.epaumcyoungpeople.org

Day Care/Pre-school as a ministry of your church

 

Does your church have a weekday preschool or are you thinking about starting such a ministry? Then I encourage you to download the "Weekday Preschool Guidelines and Appendix" from the General Board of Discipleship.  You can also email Mary McDonald, Coordinator, Leadership Ministries, mmcdonald@GBOD.org or phone toll free (877) 899-2780 Ext. 1760 if you have questions not covered in the guidelines.

The Spiritual Gift of Age

 

 

The Spiritual Gift of Age

by Bishop Peggy Johnson

            Proverbs 20:29 says: “The glory of youth is their strength, but the beauty of the aged is their gray hair.”  Some spiritual gifts take time to develop in the human soul.  The gift of wisdom comes with gray hair. This wisdom is a product of many years of walking and talking with God.  This wisdom can only be gained by sitting for a lifetime at the feet of Jesus learning from him.  The young can give us many things, but this will never be one of them.  Only the foolish believe in instant wisdom or instant knowledge, or even instant discernment.  All of these are God’s gifts to the body of Christ through those who have given God time to season their lives.
