Caring for God's Creation: A Youth Lock-In

Youth are invited to a special overnight event exploring how our faith calls us to care for the world God has made. The “Caring for God’s Creation” Lock-In will take place at First Presbyterian Church in Americus from Friday, April 17 at 6:30 PM through Saturday, April 18 at 3:00 PM. During this lock-in, participants will examine environmental science through a faith perspective and consider how stewardship of creation is part of our Christian calling.

The event will include a visit to the historic Koinonia Farm, where youth will assist with hands-on tasks such as sorting and gardening. While there, participants will also receive a tour of the farm and learn about its important role in the American Civil Rights Movement, discovering how faith and justice have long been connected to the land. 

In addition to service and learning, the lock-in will include games, fellowship, and a nighttime round of laser tag in the dark—making this a fun and meaningful opportunity for youth to grow in faith, build friendships, and explore how caring for God’s creation connects to our everyday lives.

RSVP by Friday, April 10 to Britanny DiGiammarino. Britanny is Small Church Coordinator for Flint River Presbytery and Director of Christian Education at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Valdosta, GA.
