Seen Around Church: Week of June 16, 2024
June 19, 2024Church Family Moment for Sunday, June 30, 2024
June 24, 2024Two of our high school youth, Caroline Guy (pictured on left) and Haley Davis, are serving as advocates for the Massanetta Springs Middle School Conferences during June. We are so proud of them and their heart to serve. In case you don’t know, advocates are high school leaders who empower the faith of middle schoolers during each conference as they design and lead keynotes, small group time, workshops, recreation, and worship.
We are so excited to see Caroline and Haley serving as advocates and leading our middle schoolers during Week 1 and Week 2 of middle school conference. Major bonus: They will be serving as advocates when SMPC middle schoolers are at Massanetta June 25-28 (next week!).
Even with their busy schedules, these inspiring young women were kind enough to be interviewed for Faces of Faith. Enjoy getting to know them!
Names: Caroline Guy and Haley Davis
Ages and Grades: Caroline is 16 and Haley is 15. Both are rising juniors in high school.
Families: Caroline is the daughter of Kara and Curtis Guy and has one sister, Natalie. Haley is the daughter of Denise and Mitchell Davis and has one sister, Dylan.
What are you most looking forward to about being an advocate at Massanetta this summer?
Caroline: I am mostly looking forward to all of the friends and memories I will be making. Also I am excited for the energizers (the dances we do to get everyone pumped up!)!
Haley: To meet new people and become closer with God and bringing other people closer to God, as well.
How has being a part of SMPC Youth shaped your faith journey?
Caroline: Being a part of SMPC Youth has shaped my faith journey by experiencing God’s love through others. My friends and leaders have showed me what it’s like to experience this which draws me closer to God.
Haley: I have actually wanted to become closer with God and learn about God and Jesus and what they have done for us. I feel so much more connected with God since joining the youth group and feel inspired to teach others!
What is your advice for rising 6th graders who are just now joining our youth program or are curious about joining it?
Caroline: My advice would be to keep showing up to youth group because over time it will be a lot more fun than expected. Also, to not be afraid to go because it is always so welcoming, and everyone is super friendly.
Haley: Go to as many events as you can! This is the best way to meet new people and become friends with others! It may seem scary at first but there are so many other kids in the same position as you.
