Young people are a vital part of our church family, but are their voices being heard? This week, we explore how to create a space where children and young adults feel welcome to participate in worship. Jesus himself said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them." Emily Wright highlights Rodger Nishioka in this week's installment of Voices of the Wilderness.

This summer, we're exploring inspiring voices who found faith in challenging times.
Our first spotlight is Evelyn Underhill, a scholar who urged Christians to integrate faith into everyday life.
Just like the Athenians who worshipped "unknown gods," we often separate our spiritual and practical lives. But the truth is, God is already present in everything we do. So let's embrace faith in all aspects of our lives!

It is the most well-known and beloved hymn of all time,
Amazing Grace, written in 1777 by John Newton.
The story behind the song is truly one of amazing grace being found. Let us grow closer to God of Amazing Grace.

Change is an inevitable part of the Christian life, and as a resurrected people, we are continually being transformed in and through Christ.
Stephen encourages us to rejoice in the Lord, pray with humility, and trust in God's unchanging nature, even in the midst of uncertainty and transition.
For the graduating students, Stephen reminds them that the gifts and relationships God has given them are meant to be used to bring healing, hope, and peace to the world. The church community is rooting for them, praying for them, and sending them with the peace of Christ, which they claim and know through their weekly worship of God.

Don't fear getting older! Growing older is a gift from God!
Challenges like loss build character and compassion.
You gain wisdom and time to grow closer to God.
Embrace your age and share the love of Christ with the world. Stacy preaches "The Speed Bump To Embrace".
