Thank You!
Koinonia/YPO LSS
We are deeply grateful to all of you, Antioch, for supporting us in so many ways, especially throughout the five-week journey that helped students and young professionals receive the Life in the Spirit. Thank you, first of all, for your intercession. Thank you to those who helped prepare food, talks, music, transportation, and more. We truly appreciate the time, effort, and wisdom you shared. Thank you as well for your financial support, which helps us make this as accessible as possible for everyone who wanted to attend. Special thanks to Fr John for letting us use his parish hall for the ‘Baptism in the Spirit’ session.
We were able to share something of the amazing gift of the Life in the Spirit. Across the different sessions, we had between 10 and 20 young adults attending. At every gathering, people experienced community, heard the gospel, prayed, shared their thoughts, and asked questions. Each time, people wanted to stay longer for more fellowship.
Please keep praying for us. May the Holy Spirit continue to lead us and help us grow to become more like Jesus each day.
- Koinonia & YPO

We will miss her deeply.
