As the Youth Leadership Team discussed over the summer the possibility of gathering for our annual Fall Youth Event, there were some questions that guided us: What does Jesus mean when he tells us to love our neighbor as our self? What does it look like to be a neighbor in your neighborhood? What does it mean to be a neighbor to someone who practices a different religion or Christian tradition than you do? Our hope was to gather to explore these faith questions in community. However, we have learned as the Church that we need to be flexible and wise. At our planning meeting a little over a month before we plan to gather youth from across the Presbytery, two of our members’ families were in quarantine. We knew then that we needed to come up with a way to explore and edify our youth separately but together.
