Page 5 Route 66 Youth bringing Jesus Christ into the lives of teenagers through Bible study, prayer and fellowship. Youth Leaders Joe & Julie McNaughton Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27 We live in a troubled world, and we will all encounter storms in our lives. Yet, Jesus provides us peace and stability during these uncertain mes. There are many instances of Jesus demonstra ng his holiness and power over crea on, such as quie ng a storm which caused great anxiety to the disciples. We are con nuing our DVD series, The Way: Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus, as we highlight Jesus ministry during this season of Lent. This study allows us to see through video segments where Jesus went and what he did in the Holy Land, taking a walk in his footsteps. Through the ministry of Jesus, we can learn what it means to accept God s calming presence in our lives. Students can join us on Wednesdays at 6:30 in the Youth Hall.
