I wish you all could have seen the scene from our Sunday One Worship: Over 130 teenagers from the LS and Penn Manor school districts jammed in front of a stage, singing, dancing, clapping and praising God's name together. Grace hosted our second One Worship Night to a great turn out and an even greater night of God moving through students in our community. After some powerful worship led by Signs of Scarlet, student chose one of 5 words: Justice, Love, Grace, Humility, or Peace. These 5 words represent the Code of Living that should distinguish Christ-followers in the world. The basis of the Code is found in Romans 12.Each break out group dove deep into each word to understand it's meaning and application in our real lives. We closed the night with some more worship and a time for students to pray for each other to live out the calling God has on each of them to be Christ in their schools. It was a powerful and exciting night!! The next One Worship is May 17th, you're invited to check it out with us!
