Sunday Evening, April 17 – White Oak Church of the Brethren

Our youth group did a fabulous job of singing and honoring the Lord – led by John Diffenderfer.

Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!

How Great Is Our God – featuring Janessa Diffenderfer, Jason Diffenderfer, Briana Fahnestock, Tyrell Greiner, Anthony Hess and Hali Negley

The Children’s Lesson was about a village where the children stuck stars on each other when they did something well.

(I didn’t use a flash – thus the soft focus.)

But this one guy couldn’t seem to get anything right – so they stuck circles on him.

He was discouraged until he met a girl without any stickers – because they didn’t stick to her – the “praise” stars nor the “can’t-do-anything-right” circles.

She explained that she liked how her “Maker” made her, and encouraged him to visit his maker.

It was a great children’s lesson on how God has created us individually and special – and that his love is what really matters.

The offering was to benefit youth group activities – especially the fall retreat.

The last half of the program:

My Savior, My God

All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name
