Youth and Children Lead Mount Olivet in Worship

This past Sunday, March 8, and Wednesday, March 11, youth and children led the Mount Olivet community in worship.

Youth Council, the Faith Formation Co-Op Team, adult leaders, Pastor Desirée, Pastor Michelle, Kim Capel, Rich Holleque, Tim Strommen and Beth McGrew-King planned together for weeks leading up to worship.

Thank you to student leaders who shared their gifts on Sunday and Wednesday, and thank you to Pastor Desirée, Pastor Michelle, staff and adult volunteers who invested in building relationships and sharing their wisdom in support of young people leading at Mount Olivet. And a shout out Bridgette Weber and the kitchen volunteers for feeding a full Community Room of 182 people a delicious pancake breakfast -- with bacon, sausage, and fruit! So much gratitude for the Mount Olivet community’s generous support of high school students attending the Denver, Colorado service learning trip this summer with over $1,000 raised for the trip so far.

Mount Olivet values being a place where children and youth lead, and where everyone can find their place to participate in God’s unfolding story. On Sunday and Wednesday, as a community, we experienced the Spirit bringing us together as students led in new ways, discovered new possibilities, and built intergenerational connections through volunteering and meals together.
