The Great Lakes Youth Rally is an event planned by teens for their peers (grades 7 to 12). Through activities, lessons, Bible classes, entertainment, meals, and devotionals, attendees have a chance to reflect on their faith and bond with others their age.
This year the theme of Youth Rally is “Life - It's Not Just A Game.” Luke 21:15-19 says “For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. Everyone will hate you because of me. But not a hair of your head will perish. Stand firm, and you will win life.”
Life is not a game to win or to lose, but eternal life is a gift we can accept or reject. So what does Jesus mean when he says, "win life?" Come and find out!
It's the Youth Rally committee's prayer that April 5-7 will be a fulfilling, meaningful, and, of course, fun time for all who attend! We hope to see you there! :)
