Covenant youth from all over North America gathered for Unite 2024, a dual-location event held in Bowling Green and San Diego last week. Dynamic preaching, powerful worship, and engaging conversations highlighted Jesus’s invitation to receive a unique kind of rest, one that will guide students and hold them for the rest of their lives. They explored profound questions: Do we matter? Do we belong? Participants learned to lay down their burdens and distractions, discovering that true rest is found in the presence of Jesus Christ.
The event provided opportunities to connect, learn, and grow together. It underscored the truth that we do not journey alone; we were created to walk with God, not just serve him. While the event has concluded, the movements of God in our lives will continue all the days of our lives.
Below are photo highlights from the week. As you look through these images, we invite you to join us in praying together with Psalm 23.
Psalm 23:1–3 (NRSV)
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul.
He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake.
Psalm 23:4
Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I fear no evil; for you are with me;
your rod and your staff— they comfort me.
Psalm 23:5–6
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.
