On Sunday 16th August 2009, Springvale Vietnamese Evangelical Church will celebrate Youth Day. This is a special day to celebrate and encourage the Youth in their walk with God, and their steady maturation into adulthood. Our regular calendars clearly list Father's Day and Mother's Day as significant occassions to honour our parents. In a similar vein, we don't want to forget that the Youth are also special to us and that they will soon take hold of the reins of their own lives and also of the Church. We need to encourage our Youths to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (Mt 6:33) and to work in everything with all of their heart, as working for the Lord, not for men (Col 3:23). On Youth Day 2009, we will see the Youth using their talents and abilities to honour God and serve the Church.
