AUGUST RECAP | VISIBLE YOUTH 💜
August was full of fellowship, fun, and opportunities to grow closer to God and to one another!
We kicked off the month with Youth Group Camping—food, fire, slackline, co****le, hikes, beach games, s’mores, and lots of laughter. But more importantly, we had time to slow down, fellowship, and enjoy God’s creation. God was definitely present, even keeping the rain away when we needed it most!
We also spent two weeks focusing on GRATITUDE and what the Bible teaches us about having a thankful heart. We talked about the difference between simply saying “thank you” and truly living with gratitude, even when circumstances aren’t easy. We were challenged to recognize God’s goodness, give thanks in all circumstances, and allow gratitude to change our perspective and our character.
One of the biggest reminders this month was the power of prayer. We asked our church family to pray over our youth, giving each person a specific student to lift up. We’ve already heard stories of breakthroughs, things being brought into the light, changed attitudes, and God moving in the lives of these students. God hears our prayers, and He is at work!
We are so thankful for this group of students and for every parent, leader, and church family member who invests in them, prays for them, encourages them, and walks alongside them.
August reminded us that we are not meant to do this life alone. We grow together. We pray together. We serve together. We give thanks together. And we point one another back to Jesus.
Thank you, Visible Church, for loving these students so well. They truly have such a special place in our hearts. 💜
