Don't Forget Our Young People

There are some excellent opportunities for youth and young adults being offered by the Church of the Brethren in 2013 and beyond. Take a moment to explore these links, and then think whether you know some young people who might be looking for just these kinds of experiences. Forward this page to them, and encourage them to consider whether they might want to take advantage of any of these opportunities. My guess is that if we have some young people eager to participate in these events, our congregations would be more than willing to do what we can to help make it happen. Let's make sure we don't forget our young people.
