For Sale:

All youth attending National Youth Conference have signed a covenant to attend all of the worship services. The Southeastern District Board, however, is encouraging the youth of their district to ignore that covenant and boycott worship services which are being led by some "open and affirming" individuals.

The Gospel Messenger now offers a solution to this moral conundrum. We will be selling ear plugs at each NYC worship so that all youth may attend each and every worship and stay committed to the covenants they have agreed upon without fear of having their leadership influence their impressionable young minds.

The ear plugs will also be available at Annual Conference business sessions for any delegates who feel they might be influenced by outside forces. The ear plugs would have been available to youth at District Board meetings if the timing of our marketing efforts had been more advantageous.
