Mount Joy - Florin Youth Council Will Sponsor Community Service The Mount Joy-Florin Youth Council is sponsoring a Com- munity Service at 7:30 P. M. Sunday evening, Feb. 5, in the Evangelical U. B. Church, Mt. Joy. The theme will be “Our Citizenship Under Christ.” All are invited to attend. After the service there will be a social period for the youth of the par- ticipating communities. The year 1956 marks the thirteenth annual observance of Youth Week, Jan. 29 thru Feb. 5, as sponsored by the United Christian Youth Movement. Through the 1956 theme “Our Ciiizenship Under Christ,” ev- eryone is challenged to discov- er his responsibilities as a Christian citizen. The purpose of Youth Week are. 1. To strengthen the unity of Christian youth across the coun- try. 12. To develop in youth the awareness of their responsibili- ties to the church. 3. To explore Christian con- cepts of citizenship as they re- late to all phases of life, 4. To relate the Christian gospel to the major issues in our nation and world today. The local Youth Council has suggested that on the first Sun- day of Youth Week the young people take part in denomina- tional services. The Community Service on the last Sunday of, Youth Week will have interde-! nominational cooperation. Thru! these two ways the Youth Council wishes to encourage and promote a successful Youth Week. There can be a success-| Xe VY Hepp 4 Week only if for the ful Youth turns out every- one church services and cooperates. The Youth Council would ap- preciate if the public would take special notice of the Youth Week displays in many of the windows of the merchants in the communities.
