Walden Rest Home Visited by Liberty Youth Senior High
On Sunday, February 11, 2007, our senior high youth members produced the fruits of their labors. These teenagers took their time to make pillows full of love so they could provide a little happiness to the elderly in this rest home. At right are photographs of these students distributing their pillows to the tenants of Walden Rest Home. Liberty United Methodist Church has visited several rest homes in the vicinity of Macon, Ga. Walden rest home has repeatedly welcomed them to their facility. This helps to provide the residents with comfort and compassion that some of them desperately need. These teenagers are a shining example of Liberty's Youth Group pushing Christianity to work.

Liberty Youth High School Students Take Vow of Purity Until Marriage
On
Wednesday, February 14, 2007, Liberty UMC's High School youth group join their
parents and guardians in a ceremony celebrating their vow to God to
stay pure until they have married. These students
participated in a three week class involving presentations from the
Bibb County Health Department, the Department of Family & Children Services and a final presentation from
Liberty's Youth Pastor, Jeanette McClure. They now bear a ring on their
ring finger quoting 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4. "It is God's will that you should
be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should
learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable;"(NIV)
These students will give this ring to their partner after marriage as a
representation of their purity and the vows that they made on Valentine's Day,
2007.
