Former ABC District Youth Gathering reveals new name, logo

Grand Forks, B.C. – The planning committee for the former ABC District Youth Gathering has announced that it will now be called the IMPACT Youth Gathering (www.impactyg.ca). The name represents three aspects of a youth gathering: the impact God has on attendees’ lives, the impact a gathering has in growing their faith, and the impact they can have on their neighbours. The planning committee’s goal for IMPACT is to be a youth retreat that provides community, growth, and equipping centered on Christ.

The format of the weekend will also be new. Instead of one guest speaker, there will be five sessions on different topics, with multiple presenters and different styles, followed by small group Bible studies. There will also be more time dedicated to community building and to take advantage of the activities available at a summer camp. The first IMPACT Youth Gathering will be July 2-5, 2020, at Pines Bible Camp in Grand Forks, B.C.

The planning committee has chosen 1 Peter 1:3-5 as the theme verse for 2020: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”

The committee members are Michelle Heumann (Co-chair), Rev. Eric Moffett (Co-chair), Kathy Cornish, Kayla Moffett, Tara Sadoroszney, Monica Schultz (Registrar), and Rev. Glenn Worcester.
