The America-Canada Boys and Girls Association held a Youth Conference and its 50th Conference from June 19 to 20, with 60 youth members and more than 150 participants including supporting members in attendance.

 

On the first day, the youth conference focused on the theme of the service. A head minister from a local church delivered an easy-to-understand lecture on its meaning and significance, helping the participants deepen their understanding of the service. The members then divided into groups for the hand movements, men's musical instruments, and women's musical instruments to practice the service. In addition to rehearsing the roles they would perform at the Convention the following day, they actively challenged themselves to learn instruments they had never played before. The older members, in particular, enthusiastically worked on mastering instruments such as the flute in the men's group, as well as women's instruments that they rarely have the opportunity to practice.

 

Later, the participants attended the evening service at the Mission Headquarters. Following the service, a lively pre-assembly party was held for dinner. The members enjoyed a delicious meal, participated in a bingo game, and strengthened their friendships in a joyful atmosphere.

 

The 50th Convention was held the following day. Building on what they had learned during the Youth Conference, each member, dressed in service gown, earnestly participated in the service on the sanctuary. Demonstrating the skills they had practiced, the members performed a spirited and uplifting service, showcasing the fruits of their hard work.

 

After the Convention, a summer festival was held featuring game booths, cotton candy, ice cream, and other attractions. The members enjoyed spending time together with their friends, bringing the two-day event to a close with smiles and happy memories.
