I know there are some things that we can’t do this season that we are all missing!  But here’s something to bring a little fun and encouragement your way: Jeff Walling, a youth speaker you probably all know, is hosting a one-hour online youth rally TONIGHT @8pm Central. 

 It's free... and they are giving away some cool prizes including a couple of pairs of wireless earpods!  Also, you’ll get to hear some great young students give words of encouragement along with folks like Eric Wilson, Taylor Walling as well as Jeff Walling.

You have to register and be on the Zoom call to win anything in the drawing. Registration is free here: Next Gen Voices Night Registration.
