OFFICIALLY CANCELED Thursday, March 19 9:00am-12:00pm Harrisonburg First Church of the Nazarene A peer-to-peer learning experience which helps us be better equipped, empowered, and encouraged. In March we will have a specific focus: “A Crash Course in Enneagram, Understanding Yourself & Others ” What you don’t know about yourself can hurt you and those around you - even your relationship with God. Join us for a crash course on studying the Enneagram, an ancient personality typing with roots back to the Desert Fathers aimed at providing a deeper knowledge of ourselves, compassion for others, and love for God. No experience necessary! See you there!

At the Virginia Nazarene Retreat Center ​ Equipment needed: The single most largest job at camp during this time of the year is leaves, leaves and more leaves. The camp is in need of a “Leaf Vac.” A leaf vac will greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to accomplish this task. ​ Sound Equipment Needed: A small sound board plus two small speakers needed for Wesley Chapel. If you have one just sitting around we can put it back into ministry. If you can assist the camp in any of these areas contact the Camp Manager, Rev. Mark Hardy at 609-247-4166.

We had a phenomenal time at this year’s Winter Retreat! Hundreds of students came together at Harrisonburg First Church of the Nazarene (shout out to this amazing church and its incredible people who hosted us with grace, love, and warmth)! We saw so many students receive and respond to God’s Word shared clearly and boldly by our special guest speaker, Chris Holcomb from Bethany First Church of the Nazarene in Bethany, OK. And would you believe we had Royal Company as our worship band for the weekend? Many students and leaders enjoyed Royal Company first at NYC 2019 so we were thrilled that they were available to join us at WR20! The theme was 20/20 and student learned about how God sees us, and how we see others, ourselves, and our world. Powerful stuff! Coming up next month (March) is our FOL@ENC event! You can find out all you need to know at our VA NYI website at www.virginianyi.com! While you’re there, look around and see all the other stuff going on! Look for info on UltraCamp, Young Adult Weekend, Quest, and so much more! Also on the horizon is our NYI Convention, scheduled for Saturday, June 27th at our district campground. We’re changing things up this year and moving our NYI Convention to the morning so be ready to kick your day off with a celebration of Jesus and all He’s doing in students’ lives across this amazing district! One of the things our NYI Council has discussed recently is how well (or not) we are encouraging, equipping, and empowering younger leaders on our district. This is an ongoing endeavor but more than anything we want our district pastors and leaders to know that we are intent on seeing the next generation of influencers take up that mantel with their eyes wide open and with a confidence given by God’s Spirit Himself! It’s a wonderful dialogue that’s going on across our state and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the potential that still lies ahead! We are in the beginning stages of dreaming about a VA District Youth Leaders Retreat, tentatively planned for the Spring of 2021. We’d love it if you’d indicate your level of interest in being involved or if you may know of a youth leader who’d benefit from a time of rest, laughter, fellowship, worship, and a dash of training. Send an email to jvarner@southsidechurchva.org with any questions or comments you have! Sincerely, Jerry Varner VA NYI President

Thursday, February 6 9:00am-12:00pm Harrisonburg First Church of the Nazarene A peer-to-peer learning experience which helps us be better equipped, empowered, and encouraged. This month we are thrilled to highlight two specific topics: “Ministering Within Your Context” In order to reach the world around us we must become students of the culture and community where God has planted us. Pastor Cameron Dunlap shares about his experience in ministering within the inner-city of Roanoke and will help us all gain a better understanding of ministering faithfully where we are planted. “A Life In Contrast” In the midst of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus presents a kingdom that is rather “upside down” compared to the way many of us live today. Todd Thomas will share insights behind his book and his long journey into understanding the way Jesus teaches us to live, and how that is often in contrast to the way many, even within the church, choose to live.
