\n

As Young Anabaptists (YABs)<\/strong>, we want to use the third week in June <\/em><\/strong>on an annual basis to celebrate our common faith and roots in our different cultural contexts by studying and discussing a passage from Scripture, sharing songs and prayer requests, hearing each other’s stories and praying for each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve compiled some materials to incorporate into your own local context, no matter what time you meet during the week. Our prayer is that they help draw you into greater community (koinonia<\/em>), not only in your local communities, but in your international Anabaptist community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also encourage you to take the time during that week to reach out to other Anabaptists & Mennonite youth or young adult groups in your area. Reconnect with friends you met during GYS to spend time in fellowship together or serve in your community together. Maybe you even want to discuss the questions together and spend time praying for each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’d love to see how you celebrate YABs Fellowship Week <\/strong>in your community so please be sure to share pictures and videos with us <\/em>if you can, or even a recap of your discussion<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

with other youth\/young adult groups! Use the opportunity to enjoy fellowship with other Anabaptist communities. It doesn\u201a\u00c4\u00f4t have to be complicated; just get together to worship, play, discuss, and pray \u2013 in person or online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join the discussion…<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

in a private Facebook group or on Discord and meet other YABs from around the world. Share conversations on your different perspectives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
