For the third year in a row the Manwells and the youth group of Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit hosted a group of youth from PineviewMennonite Church, Vassar MI, for the Dare2Share youth conference--held Friday Mar 19th and Saturday Mar 20th.
Dare2Share (http://www.dare2share.org/) is a non-denominational 2 day program for Christian youth including skits, concerts, encouragement and fellowship. The goal is to show Christian teens that they are not alone and to encourage them to "dare" to share their faith with others. Dare2Share has yearly events all over the USA. During these two days the late evenings and early mornings get a bit crowded around the Manwell house--this year's group included 12 teens and 3 adults--but it's safe to say that a good time was had by all. More importantly, everyone--youth and leaders alike--agreed that the conference and activities were spiritually uplifting and faith-strengthening. Pineview's group (and guests) were led by Nick Seney and adult chaperones Gary & Dorothy. LCHS's youth were led by Mike Govert & John Piccoli.
Nancy's Project The LCHS Youth provide funding and care for many aloe vera plants which are donated to the Cancer Institute at Alexian Brothers Hospital in Elk Grove Village, to provide some relief to those receiving radiation treatments for this disease.
