YABs Fellowship Week Materials & Resources: 19–26 June 2016

As young Anabaptists, we have designated the third week of June for an annual celebration of our common faith and roots in our different cultural contexts by studying a passage from Scripture, sharing songs and prayer requests, hearing each other’s stories and praying for each other. We’ve compiled some materials below to incorporate into your own local context, no matter what time you meet during the week. Our prayer is that they will help draw you into greater community (koinonia), not only in your local congregations, but with your international Anabaptist family.

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 or to reconnect with friends you met during GYS to spend time in fellowship or serve in your community together. Maybe you even want talk about the discussion questions together and spend time praying for each other! We’d love to see how you celebrate YABs Fellowship Week in your community. Please share pictures and videos with us if you can, or even a recap of your discussion.
