The Saint John M.B. Church held its Annual Youth Explosion 2024, Sunday, May 26 at 3:00 pm. The theme selected was “Youth on the Move for Christ.” Scripture: “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.” Ecclesiastes 12:1 We believe that the youth are our future, and we should help and involve them in the cause of Christ just as adults. “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 Thanking God for His Grace and blessings. It allowed us to reach the youth which included severalchurchesboth near and far. The program included oratorical speaking, songs (choir and solos), praise dance, mime dancers, divine steppers, and much more. Youth are endowed with different and various gifts from the Lord, and we believe that they should have the opportunity to “let their light shine before men.”
