Under the inspiring theme “Believe the Promise: Walk by Faith,” nearly 200 young people gathered for a powerful Youth Worship Experience and Rally Weekend organized by the New England North & South Adventist Youth Federation. 

The weekend began with Friday Night Live at Hyde Park Seventh-day Adventist Church, led by Pastor Edsel Cadet, who set an engaging and spiritual tone for the event. The night featured heartfelt worship, inspiring music, and fellowship, creating a strong sense of community and faith.

On Sabbath, youth gathered aboard the Spirit of Boston Cruise for a unique worship experience on the water. Pastor Steve Riley delivered a compelling, faith-filled message that resonated deeply with the young audience. The serene setting provided a perfect space for reflection and spiritual renewal.

The Sabbath activities continued with a fellowship lunch aboard the ship, fostering deeper connections among attendees. Later in the day, a vibrant Vesper Worship Experience in a park by the water brought the group together once again for worship and celebration, where the enthusiasm and energy of the youth was dynamic.

At the weekend’s conclusion, a tour of Boston’s iconic sites blended spiritual enrichment and cultural exposure.

Youth participating in the weekend’s activities spoke of how they were spiritually strengthened and empowered to walk by faith in their daily lives. It was a testament to the transformative power of faith, community, and shared purpose in bringing young people together for spiritual growth and inspiration.
