Hey Northgate,

One of the things I love about being part of Northgate is watching the next generation grow in their faith, develop meaningful relationships, and discover what it means to follow Jesus. And this weekend is another great opportunity for that to happen!

On Friday, 60 people from Northgate will be heading to Camp LeTourneau for our annual Base Fall Retreat! That's 60 students and leaders getting away for a weekend of fun, worship, teaching, laughter, and hopefully a few memories that will last a lifetime.

It's been so exciting to watch the growth of our Base Student Ministry. We've seen more students getting connected, relationships developing, students taking steps in their faith, and an incredible team of leaders investing their time and energy into the lives of our young people. There is so much to be thankful for, and we're grateful for everyone who plays a part in making this ministry what it is.

This weekend, I want to invite you to join us in praying for our students and leaders.

Please pray for Pastor DL, John, Erin, David, and all of our awesome volunteers as they lead and serve throughout the weekend. Pray for our Guest Speaker (former Base Intern), Pastor Jake Rychlicki, who will be speaking and sharing God's Word with our students.

Most importantly, pray for each student attending. Pray for good health, safe travels, strengthened friendships, meaningful conversations, plenty of encouragement, and lots of fun. But above all, pray that God would use this weekend to move hearts, deepen faith, and challenge students to live and love more like Jesus.

You never know what God might do in a weekend like this. One conversation, one worship moment, one challenge from God's Word, or one meaningful relationship can make a lasting difference in someone's life.

We are so thankful for our Base Student Ministry Team and for a church that invests in the next generation. Let's be praying for them this weekend!

See you this weekend,

Pastor John
