This summer the Narita Gospel Church youth group hosted the first every C&MA Chiba prefecture youth praise and worship service.  Four C&MA churches from the Chiba area joined together to worship with our youth worship band, hear a short devotional, sing some more, and then eat a meal of fried noodles (yakisoba), home-made pork dumplings (gyoza) and watermelon.

There were over 30 people who attended, and it was just a great night of being together as youth groups.  People already were asking, “When is the next one?”  I was so proud of my youth for reaching out to kids who came from other churches, and for being so helpful that afternoon as we did welcome graffiti on paper on the dinner tables, and in helping to make the dinner.
