This youth group sees itself as a family united by their Christian faith. Members support each other through both happy and difficult times. As two members, Nick and Chelsea, prepare to leave high school, the group will pray for their health, safety, and spiritual well-being as their lives enter a new phase and they explore places beyond the youth group.

120. This youth group is a family
United by faith in Jesus and our friendships around
this room
We are all brothers and sisters
And for a time, this youth group is our home
Like every human family our youth group is formed and
reformed over time
Members come into the group, and members leave
Members are adopted into our family
And they leave our youth group for new places and
experiences
Together we have shared with one another good times
and bad

121. We have shared joys and concerns
We have laughed and cried
As you move into a new part of your life,
Know that you are not alone
We will pray for you in all that you do and wherever
you go

122. O God, our Protector, keep and preserve Nick and
Chelsea as they leave high school in all health and
Safety, both of body and soul; through Jesus Christ.
Amen.
