In January, our girls (youth) joined with many other area church groups at Hershey Evangelical Free Church for a day of Fellowship. There were over 300 girls (wow!), coming together for the message of Confidence; Confidence in Christ. There were skits, a main speaker, breakout sessions from “Relationships with Friends” to “Why are boys so stupid?” (not really, but it seems like it), and “How to know my relationship with God is real?’ to “Preventing media overload”; we also enjoyed praise and worship songs by Johnny Diaz   Following the day’s events, we had supper at Red Robin (YUM!) and headed back to the church for an evening concert by Johnny Diaz….Yeah!  There Can NEVER Be A More Beautiful YOU!
