Youth Council (YC) is a group of youth and adults from churches throughout the Presbytery of New Hope who are dedicated to serving God through their local churches and through our presbytery. The YC attends training and planning sessions to prepare for leading 2 weekend retreats (middle school retreat in the fall and a high school retreat in the spring).
Applications and reference letters are due by June 15, 2023
Since we were not able to meet in person or hold retreats during the 2020-21 Youth Council year, our group focused on creating resources that youth groups across the presbytery could use during virtual meetings. These resources can also be adapted for in-person use. Each of the 4 YC teams (Recreation, Worship, Theme & Music) created their own resources following a theme of Salt & Light. We hope you enjoy them!
“Let me tell you why you are here. You’re here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth.... Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world." -Matthew 5:13-14 (MSG)
