Westin Hotel Indianapolis, IN November 2nd-4th, 2018 #my365story I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen Ephesians 3:17-21
A Letter from Abbie Hey youth leaders! Recently I was hanging out with a youth from our church, listening as they spoke about a yearning for more in their relationship with Jesus. It struck me how common of an experience that is- not just for our youth, but for all of us. Sometimes the routine and to-do lists of our every day can be so distracting from the greater work that God is doing in and around us. Over the last few years, this vision of 365 has taught me so much about approaching each day as a new opportunity to realign and step in to the life that God has invited me to live. I have also been so deeply encouraged by the bigger picture that we get to glimpse when we gather all together each year. We are praying that what you and your students experience each year at 365 will be a catalyst toward walking closer in step with Jesus every day. This year, we are praying that your youth will walk away from our weekend together passionate about the truth that there is more As we dig in to Ephesians 3:17-21, we believe that we will discover there is more to be found and experienced through Jesus than we have previously known: more love, more purpose, more fullness, more peace, more possible through community, MORE than anything we can ask or imagine. In a world that shouts of not enough, our God of abundance is whispering, There is more I can t wait to listen, learn, celebrate, and live together when we join together again at The Westin Indianapolis this November 2nd-4th. In this packet, you will find all the information you need regarding registration, schedule, and other details to help your group prepare for the weekend. We hope you will take note of the YPC application, and prayerfully consider students in your group who you may recommend applying for the team. YPC has been an integral part of my 365 story since I joined the team as a 10th grader. Each year, the YPC team sets the theme verse, and we love to watch the ways God moves as they offer their unique gifts and leadership. Please let us know if you have questions. We look forward to being together in person during our leader gathering before everything begins on November 2nd and hope you will plan to join us. Can t wait to see you soon! Abbie Craig and the YPC Team
2018 Lineup Speaker Kylee Larson There is no end to the love our God has for us. God is not hiding, not withholding, not scarce. Our God is right here, right now, inviting us every day into more: more wholeness, more meaning, more healing, more love. It is my prayer for 365 that we hear the invitation loudly and clearly. That we are able to wholeheartedly answer back: yes! Worship 365 Band Featuring Isaac Vining, CJ Lukas, Nancy & Logan Hendrickson, Evan Ferrell, Dylan Zyrowski, & AJ Miller This year s 365 band has been leading worship together at churches, conferences, universities and worship nights since they met at Anderson University in 2011. Some of their stories are rooted in a calling God ignited while they were students at this very gathering. They care deeply about building the local church and leading people toward real encounters with God.
