Ephesians 4:3-6
“eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”
This year, we believe God is calling us to remember the unity we share as members in the body of Christ. While we come from various youth groups, geographies, and life circumstances, we come together as one body with one spirit as we worship one Lord.
