Heritage Students Short-Term Ministry Trips
Local STMT
- Date: June 8th-12th
- Our junior high students will have the opportunity to serve our church and serve the LYH community.
- Our hope is to serve with a few local organizations: Parkview, World Help, and Blue Ridge Pregnancy Center.
- We will seek out opportunities to be a blessing to some of our church body and church staff. It’s a great way to give our teens a taste of what our domestic or international trips would look like.
Detroit STMT
- Team of 15 teens and six leaders coming alongside Global Gates, a ministry in strategic cities in the U.S. with high populations of refugees from unreached nations.
- The team will serve alongside global workers from this organization in the Detroit area to come alongside them in ministry efforts and see how God is working among the unreached in the U.S.
- Dates: July 13-21

A Summer of Prayer
Paul’s admonition is not just a simple call to prayerfulness, but a direct call to fervently plead to God on behalf of “all the saints” and for his work as an apostle. This is prayer that is “at all times in the Spirit.” It’s both consistent and authoritative, unending and powerful. This is a prayerfulness that has an eye on the enemy’s schemes while also having its feet planted in the truth.
Do we pray like that for one another?

Elder Prayer Update
As we continue to lift up the needs of our church community, we want to take a moment to focus our prayers on our elders. These faithful leaders carry the weight of shepherding, teaching, and caring for the spiritual well-being of others, often while navigating personal challenges of their own. Praying for our elders is vital—not only for their strength, wisdom, and protection, but also to encourage and support them as they lead with humility and faith. Let’s come together to intercede on their behalf, trusting God to refresh and sustain them in every season.
