This Sunday was Confirmation Sunday as well as Youth Sunday at Sterling UMC. Drawing from Jeremiah 29, Pastor Bert reminds the congregation that even in the middle of life's messes — personal, communal, or generational — God's word remains the same: "I know the plans I have for you, plans for peace, not disaster." Whether you're a newly confirmed young person stepping into an uncertain world or a seasoned believer navigating life's later chapters, the invitation is to seek God wholeheartedly and trust that His plan is still unfolding.
