A joy-filled Next Gen Sunday! đ
This past Sunday, our kids and teens didn't just participate in worship -- they led it. From the call to worship to the preaching, our next generation stepped forward with faith, courage, and a love for Jesus that inspired our entire church family.
We also celebrated important milestones in the lives of our children and students. Hearing our high school graduates share from the pulpit was a powerful reminder that God is at work in the lives of our young people. He's not just preparing them to lead, serve, and impact the world around them...they are already doing it.
After worship, the celebration continued with our Lemonade Sale fundraiser. We are raising funds to help send Granite City high school students to Unite 2027, the Evangelical Covenant Church's triennial youth conference. Thank you to everyone who donated, purchased lemonade, and helped make the event a success!
And of course, no Next Gen Sunday would be complete without a little fun. We wrapped up the morning by making some new friends at the petting zoo, proving that Next Gen Sunday is always about the "kids!"
Thank you to every child, student, parent, volunteer, and leader who helped make this day so special. We are grateful for the next generation and excited to see how God continues to work in and through them.
