Americas Keswick

11/02/2026

It was a good Sunday! Whether it be awesome time connecting to God and each other in our morning worship services and 6th-9th grade Sunday School class or on Sunday nights with Hope YTH!

TrashketBall made its first appearance of the season during Hope YTH game time! We dug into week 2 of our DISTORTED teaching series. We talked about how lust on demand is our me first, right now, selfish desires gone out of control. We contrasted this with Jesus selfless example of love and service. We challenged everyone to complete this statement:
“Instead of chasing more __________, this weekI’m going to invest more in __________.”.

THIS Sunday (11/8) is GLOW NIGHT! Be ready and dress warm as we move our game outside to play capture the flag at the end of the night. We have 400 glow sticks to identify teams and make a fun filled night! Invite yourself! Invite some friends!

Hope YTH went all out with our last Squad Wars theme night! We invited you to wear your fav Halloween costume and you showed out! Such a fun night! And we started out our new teaching series called DISTORTED! We asked a fundamental question, ‘Who defines you’? Is it outside influences with labels or the inner truth of knowing you are God’s Image Bearer? We looked at fundamental passages from scripture like Psalm 139 which talks about how God carefully designed and knew you, we talked about Genesis 1 where God says we are his image bearer before any successes or failures we are always his image bearer, and we talked about Romans 12:1-2 and how we are not to influenced by the culture around us but be transformed by God’s words and ways!

Be here NEXT Sunday for more Hope YTH goodness!
