STEUBENVILLE-2013
LOVE is the strongest force in the world. It is unconditional.
It never fails. And, at its center, love is a choice. This
summer, we will explore that our ability to love is only
because God first loved us.(1 John 4:19). He chose us. God’s
greatest desire is to be with us; not because of anything we
can do for Him, but simply because He loves us. You are
invited to experience a love that has no limits, no end, no
strings attached. Come join us as we discover the reality that
nothing can separate us from this love. We are CHOSEN

• So what do you guys do at the youth
conference?
– The conference combines awesome talks,
incredible music, praise and worship, time for
prayer and fellowship, entertainment, and
anointed liturgies. Basically it is a week-end to get
rocked by God, to get serious, about life in Christ
and His Church, and to learn about the Gospel.

• Emergency phone chain:
– We will provide you with an emergency phone chain prior to
departure.
– In case of an emergency that involved the group as a whole, this
phone chain should be used.
– Teens will be allowed to bring their cell phones but not allowed to
have them during the day. They will be able to call you in the morning
and at night. If you need to reach them call me or if they need to reach
you during the day they can use my phone. It will be on but in silent
mode. Best to text me with any emergency or messages
– Please take this very seriously AND reinforce with your teen. The
sessions are intense and require attention throughout. I have no
tolerance for cell phone texting or web searching during a
presentation or discussion.
