This past week the PNEC sent 159 participants to the National Youth Event at Coronado Springs Resort in Florida where we gathered with over 3,000 other UCC and Disciples of Christ youth. It was a FANTASTIC and MAGICAL week! We worshiped, attended workshops, served in the local mission field and celebrated life. We learned everything from how to get a youth group through airport security promptly to how to be an agent of Christian love and change in our communities. We are all grateful for the prayers and financial support from our local churches and communities in the Penn Northeast Conference. -- Tracy Whitehead, Dille Parish, LeRaysville

STEWARDSHIP
As God's stewards, we are called to make use of all God's gifts for the growth of God's reign on earth. How do we deepen our own sense of stewardship and encourage good stewardship practices within our churches?
