The Pilgrimage Review

I hope all the PG youth had a great time at Pilgrimage! Our speaker this year was Olu Brown who is the pastor of Impact United Methodist Church in Atlanta, GA. He really spoke to the youth in great ways! Here are some of the things that I heard the youth say that the got from this weekend...

1. Don't give up... no matter the circumstance God is with us

2. They want to be the kind of people that are leaders in their school

3. They are unique. 

4. Sometimes in life we have to wait... 

As I see all these words in front of me I think that these are words for me as well! What a great weekend! Now I hope that youth will take ownership of these words and be who Christ has called them to be. 

I also came away this weekend being so grateful to God for the youth. I am so honored and grateful that I get to be their youth pastor. They make me laugh, they encourage me, they pray for me, and they do challenge me! 

Also I want to say how grateful I am for the adult leaders that went. I have been praying that adults at PG would be a leader to these youth! And what a blessing it was to have Andrea, Kiah, Veronica, Mike, and John on the trip this weekend. 

I encourage you to check out one of the talks we watched at Pilgrimage! Downright inspiring!
