Christ the

King youth attend 'gathering' in Selma

Several youth

from the Fayette/Coweta area recentrly attended the "Gathering of

Champions 2002" in Selma, Ala. The event was the first national youth

event of the Charismatic Episcopal Church and hosted more than 500 teens

and 200 sponsors and adults.

The speakers

were bishops or other leaders in the church. Activities included games,

worship services, concerts, teaching opportunities and the feeding of

several thousand homeless and/or poor people in the Selma area.

"More

than 100 young people made commitments to receive Christ as Savior,"

a spokesperson said, "and some 200 youth said they prayed for a deeper

experience with the Holy Spirit."

The Rev. David

Neece, who accompanied several youth from Christ the King, said he would

describe the entire week as "awesome."

The Rev. Dan

Hale and his wife, Stephanie, also accompanied local youth.

The Gathering

of Champions event birthed a national youth movement in the Charismatic

Episcopal Church called "Laudate."

Christ the

King is meeting temporarily in the chapel of Carmichael-Hemperley funeral

Home each Sunday at 10 a.m. while its new sanctuary in Coweta County is

being constructed.
