Journey to Adulthood Pilgrimage

On Friday our Journey to Adulthood class leaves for their pilgrimage to the Faith in 3D Conference in Orlando, Florida. With a 3Day Park Hopper as part of the package this may seem more like a vacation than a pilgrimage. But for this group of teens who have spent time talking and wondering about different Christian denominations this conference hosted by the Baptist, Presbyterian and Episcopal Churches will be an exciting way to meet God through the eyes of fellow teens some of whom worship in different ways as they worship, study and play together. When we renewed our Baptismal Covenant on this past Sunday we promised again to seek and serve Christ in all persons, to continue in the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking of the bread, and the prayers. By going on pilgrimage our teens will find many ways to live into their promises - some expected and some very unexpected. And when they come back I hope they will share some of their experiences. For now I ask your prayers for them and their chaperones, and for all who are planning, leading and attending the conference.
