Nov 9: Priscilla Mueller with YFC Streetlight: Priscilla has been enjoying finding many way to connect with youth in our community, including connecting with students as she serves them breakfast at Duchess Park, starting a ‘Girls and Growth’ group for teen girls at YFC’s Upper Room and being a safe place for youth to share their burdens in the Transformations group run out at Ness Lake. Give thanks with her for great connections through relationships made at Ness Lake this summer and in the schools! Please pray that these connections would be a blessing to the youth she serves, for a new grief/loss group she will be starting to work with in the New Year, as well as an upcoming opportunity to connect with students at Nusdeh Yoh school in the coming school year.
