To Our Young People
The Marsalis Avenue Church of Christ wants its young people to grow up in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord" and it is our hope that our youth program will help parents to make certain this takes place.
You are young enough to have joys and sorrows, deep longings and high dreams, and many, many problems, but old enough to know there is a cause for every joy, a cure for every sorrow, a solution to every problem, and fulfillment for every aspiration.
You are young enough to desire success, but old enough to know that true wealth consist not in the abundance of things possessed.
You are young enough to enjoy a good time, but old enough to know one cannot have a good time if pleasure-seeking is put first in life.
You are young enough to love to play, but old enough to have learned that most fun is having a hard task and seeing it courageously through.
You are young enough to want to be beautiful, but old enough to know that beauty comes from within.
You are young enough to make many mistakes, but old enough to learn the lesson, forget the experience, and move on to better things.
You are young enough to have faith in God, in His goodness, in His loving care over you, in His wise and beautiful plan for your life, but old enough to value this faith as the thing that give life purpose and make it worth living.
