We are excited and humbled to have been called by the Lord to be the FSY session directors for a second time, having had the privilege to session direct the 2022 FSY, which was an incredible experience, which we loved. We are looking forward to being able to work with our wonderful young adults to join you, our amazing youth, on this spiritual journey together. We feel that this is going to be a fantastic opportunity to grow together as we strengthen each other’s testimonies of our Saviour Jesus Christ.

To the parents and leaders, please invite your youth to participate in FSY 2024. Our own children attended FSY as youth and as young adult leaders and have had great experiences. We encourage you to support your young people as they prepare to attend. We both believe that they will gain the most out of FSY if they take the time to prepare. We would invite each of our youth to read through the “For The Strength of Youth”  booklet. This is a great starting point. We would encourage all who are participating in FSY to set personal goals for spiritual growth, as directed by the Spirit.

FSY will be a lot of fun! You will have the opportunity to meet other people that you may not have met before and build friendships that can last for a lifetime and beyond. For many of you, you will be able to renew friendships made at the last FSY. We are very excited for the activities and experiences that will be had by all. Come with a positive attitude and a willingness to participate and you will gain the most from the experiences.

We want you to know, that we know, that Jesus Christ lives and is our Saviour and Redeemer. And, that through his Eternal Atonement we can return as families to God’s presence and be happy eternally.

We look forward to seeing you there in January 2024! Please know that we love you, and look forward to being with you.

Mark and Kerry Pemberton.
