Members of The Neighborhood Youth Project (NYP) participated in the leadership of worship, including the sermon. Near the end of the message, you will hear silence during which the youth come forward to display posters that read: “God Bless Everyone, No Exceptions.” The preacher speaks briefly and then the youth rearrange themselves to communicate another message: “Everyone, No Exceptions, Bless God.”

Our loving acts, acts of service and sacrifice, for all of our neighbors, these acts bless God.

The youth flip their signs at the conclusion of the message and each poster simply reads: “Love.”

The what is Love.
