Good Afternoon Everyone!

 

It is the most wonderful time of the year!  "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.  He is a wonderful Savior and I pray that God continues to cover each of you with His Love, Peace, Joy and His Presence.

 

This time is also wonderful as we begin our planning phase of the 2017 Young People's Convention! Our staff is most elated that we are leading in this effort.  Since our last session the vitality of our staff has continued to not only engage our efforts, motivate each other but also execute our plans.  It is our hope that you are as equally elated for the work that is laid before us regarding the  State Young People's Session.  The work of the Young People's convention is extremely important and we want to ensure that we are being stewards of the work that God is requiring of us. Therefore, as we prepare for our 2017 Session please review the following information to join us in the final plans.
