Youth “Waiting for True Love” Event – February 28th
On February 28, more than thirty Powerhouse teens were reminded that true love is a gift worth waiting for at an elegant dinner prepared by Powerhouse friends Cheryl Sewell and Star Pepper. The “Waiting for True Love” event challenged teens to practice abstinence until marriage, and presented an honest discussion of the consequences faced by young people who choose to engage in premarital sex.
Dinner was served on tables that were beautifully arranged with fine china, white roses, and candlelight. Throughout the evening, dramas were enacted that portrayed typical challenges teens face such as peer pressure, the quest for love, and unplanned pregnancy. Several teens shared real life experiences of how sex before marriage caused devastation in their own lives. The goal of the evening was to help teens define what love truly is – and isn’t – and to help the teens make better choices with their own bodies and hearts. For those who have already suffered the consequences of bad decisions, the group was reminded that God’s power to forgive and restore purity is always available, and His healing love works miracles to mend a broken heart.
We thank Cheryl and Star as well as our volunteer servers and table hosts for helping us strengthen our teens in a fast-paced world that often forgets about the virtues of waiting for true love.
