A Next Generations Conference at Good News Fellowship Church, Gary, Minnesota, on Friday and Saturday, April 27-28, will feature food, a talent show, a youth band, and messages about how the young and the old can work together for glory of God.

On Friday at 7 p.m., the youth band from Community Church International in Thief River Falls will lead worship and Evangelist Tom Shanklin of Mankato, Minnesota will speak.

On Saturday, April 28, beginning at 5 p.m., there will be a meal and a multi-generational talent show. A 7 p.m., the youth band will lead worship once again. Pastor Tom Ramsey, formerly of Twin Valley and now a youth pastor at Thief River Falls, will speak.

Evangelist Shanklin said, “Too often the Church has been losing the battle for the hearts and minds of our young people. As a result, many churches are dying. It’s time to seek the Lord for strategies to reach and retain our young people, and to work together with them for the glory of God.”

This regional conference is open to all churches and all ages. There is no charge. A free-will offering will be received. For more information, call (218) 356-8604.
