WSYC 2023
It’s Time
“Choose you this day whom you will serve…but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua’s challenge to his people is the same for us today. It’s Time – choose today the One you will serve. It’s Time – today is the day to serve the Lord!
The 2023 Wisconsin State Youth Conference will encourage young people to serve the Lord
with their lives. To daily, in every moment, choose to serve Him above all else.
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15
