*** Acknowledgements *** On behalf of the Second Nazareth Baptist Church Youth Ministry, I sincerely thank each and every person who helped in any way with this year s Youth Day Observance program. Our youth selected a powerful and meaningful theme which required them to think about whom they love and worship. It is important that praise and worship are relevant for their generation; however, it is also imperative that they understand that as a Christian, loving God should be first and foremost in their lives. I encourage all of you to continue to help instilling in our youth that God wants and deserves their love, praise, and worship. Please continue to pray for our youth they are deserving and worthy of your support in all of their endeavors. We ask for your prayers as well, as we embark upon our fourth trip in the coming week to the National Baptist Youth Convention of America in Birmingham, Alabama. Peace & Blessings upon you all! With Sincere Thanks! *** Sis. Jackie W. Brown *** *** SNBC Youth Ministry Director ***
