Our middle/high school students are being bombarded with information, ideas, contrasting values and worldviews! It's time they have someone come alongside to ask good questions and help them examine the available answers for themselves:
- How did anything get here (origins of life)?
- Why am I on this earth?
- How am I supposed to sort out the competing arguments on any of the issues of the day (sexuality, gender identity, racism, global warming, poverty, etc.)?
- What about...(fill in the blank)?
- What is a trustworthy foundation upon which to answer questions and to build my life?
- What is the most important goal every person should have?
- What happens when someone dies, what's next?
WHEN:Sundays (9-9:50 am)
WHERE: on lower level of Goldsboro Church facility at 103 W. Broadway Street, Etters.
WHO: middle school and high school students
By Charlie Yost
After graduating from Red Land high school and Indiana University of Pennsylvania, I worked several years at Ships Parts Control Center. Jeanne came into my life simultaneous to my sense of a calling for additional training. We moved to Findlay, OH and finished my M. Div. through Winebrenner Theological Seminary. I was ordained by the Churches of God, General Conference and served pastorates in Cumberland, Allegheny and Westmoreland Counties.
Desert Storm arose during the mid-point of those assignments and again I sensed a calling and was commissioned as a Chaplain in the US Army Reserves. Three overseas deployments and 24 years later, I retired from the military and have returned to my boyhood home in Etters.
Married to Jeanne for four decades now (seems like yesterday), God blessed us with a daughter Sarah and son Zachary, who in turn are both married to great people and have provided five grandsons and one beautiful granddaughter between them! We are so proud of our children and our grandchildren!
I am very excited to be part of the Goldsboro Church and to have the opportunity to serve alongside these good folks as we let the light of Jesus be reflected into the lives and fabric of our community.
