Youth Group

Scottspiel
Hmmm...how do you define "youth"??

A couple of decades ago, I was in a "youth group" that consisted of high schoolers or college aged kids.

In Cameroon, "youth" can be anyone from 13 or so up to in the 30's.

And last night, Christy and Jenny went to a newly established "youth group" for kids in grades 5 and 6. Interesting. By the way, they loved it. It is an "inter-church" youth group (kids from all churches in town can participate), and it is a time when Christy can see one of her friends who is home-schooled (who she usually only sees in church).

It is so encouraging to see churches work together for a change - after all, are we not all the body of Christ? Tomorrow I, too, will enjoy this, as I will be attending an inter-church ladies' retreat :-)
