Marion, Emma & Shore Youth Groups To Sponsor Youth Event
Nationally known speaker and
poet, Brenda Matthews affectionately
known as “Mama” Brenda, is a poet
pregnant with purpose.
She will be providing a motivational message to go along with a youth
worship service being co-sponsored
by three LaGrange County Mennonite
church youth groups. The event is Saturday evening, November 12, at 6:30
pm at Shore Mennonite Church.
Brenda’s purpose is to plant seeds
of change in the hearts of those who
have fallen through the cracks. She has
traveled throughout the United States
and Africa to deliver her message of
change to the ‘least of these.’ Brenda
Matthews’ passion has been widely recognized. A two-time featured poet of
HBO’s Def Poetry Jam Chicago, she has
shared the stage with legendary performers The Last Poets, Malcolm Jamal
Warner, Stevie Wonder, John Legend,
Roberta Flack, and Willie Nelson.
The event at Shore will be for any
junior high and high school youth. The
event is free, however a free will offering will be taken up during the event.
Following worship and the message, snacks will be provided.
To facilitate the event, those
planning to attend are asked to RSVP
to Kellie Bontrager at either 574-2021033 or [email protected].
More information is available by
contacting Kellie, or any of the three
churches.
