Last weekend, secondary school youth from churches across the diocese came together for an unforgettable Secondary School Conference! 🤍🌿 The theme of our conference was inspired by Philippians 4:6: “Be anxious for nothing.” Over the weekend, the youth explored what it means to live a life rooted in faith and trust in God, learning how we can let go of unhealthy fears and anxieties and surrender more fully to Him 🙏 Of course, it wasn’t all talks and reflections, we also had plenty of fun, with activities including paintballing, camping outdoors, and so much more! ⛺️🔫🤩 We thank God for such a beautiful and blessed weekend, and pray that the lessons and memories from the conference will remain with the youth as they continue to grow in their faith. 🤍
