Let’s CelebrateSYATP Youth Rally We are excited to celebrate what God did at the See You at the Pole Youth Rally! On Wednesday night, 321 students and leaders from across our CRBA churches came together for a powerful night of worship, fellowship, and encouragement. The evening was filled with passionate praise, a clear and challenging message, and a call for students to live boldly for Christ in their schools. Youth were reminded of the importance of prayer—not only on one special day but as a daily commitment to lift up their schools, friends, and communities.We are thankful for all the churches who brought their youth groups and for everyone who worked together to make this rally a success. Let’s continue to pray for our students as they take the light of Christ into their schools and boldly live out their faith! Welcoming Church Training Last night, we were blessed to gather at Mount Calvary Baptist Church for the Becoming a Welcoming Church conference—and what a wonderful evening it was! From start to finish, the event reflected the heart of Christian hospitality. The food was delicious, the fellowship was warm, and the spirit of unity could be felt throughout the evening. A special word of thanks goes to Stephen Collins, who did an excellent job narrating and guiding us through the evening. His presence helped set the tone for a night of encouragement and inspiration. We are also deeply grateful for the outstanding teaching provided by Luke Lane, Nick Wilson, and Travis Evans. Each session offered practical wisdom and biblical insight on how our churches can better reflect the love of Christ to every guest who walks through our doors. Their leadership and preparation truly blessed everyone in attendance. Finally, we want to thank Mount Calvary Baptist for hosting with such grace and excellence. Your hospitality made the night not only meaningful but also deeply enjoyable. Together, we were reminded that a welcoming church is a reflection of a welcoming Savior. May the seeds planted last night grow into lasting fruit as we continue to open our doors and our hearts to those God sends our way.
