Regional Youth Conference 2011

New Order Breaking In
Mark 1:14-15

 

As Brethren, we talk a lot about PEACE and about LIVING SIMPLY. The reality is, however, that few of us do much in our daily lives to actually live out either of these issues. We need role models, persons who have found ways to live out the gospel in practical ways, to help us think anew about how we can be more faithful.

From North Manchester, Ind., Cliff Kindy and Brian Kruschwitz come to Kansas to lead our RYC weekend. Through thought, prayer and music, attendees will be challenged to take the teachings of Jesus seriously.

We welcome participation by you AND your friends!!
