A youth breakfast and devotional was held on March 8, which was the second Saturday of Winter Tabernacle Meetings. Many guests from different locations joined for this event, which began at 9:30 a.m. The menu featured eggs, bacon, hash browns, and bread pudding, along with orange juice and hot cocoa adorned with homemade toasted marshmallows. The meal was as filling as it was delicious, and the kitchen staff's hard work was greatly appreciated. 

After eating, it was time for singing, which was led by Azaria Charles. The group started off on their feet singing “Father Abraham,” and continued with a number of other favorite songs, including “No Condemnation in My Heart,” “Power of Your Love,” and “Here I Am to Worship.” Then Pete Sferle, from Sacramento, California, led in prayer. 

The devotional message was given by Taiwoo Park from Seattle, Washington. His text was found in 2 Peter 3:18, “But grow in grace,and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever.” He talked about how young people can trust God with their futures and pointed out that even if their present circumstances are not what they expected, God still has a plan. He loved one of them even before he or she was born! Life is not always easy, but God is always there to help. Brother Taiwoo went on to explain that having knowledge about God is important, and His grace is necessary in a dark and broken world. He encouraged the youth to love one another and pray for each other. The devotional ended with a time for prayer.

After lunch, there were activities in the gym and volleyball at Brentwood Park, located a few blocks from the campground. The young people were blessed to have this special time of fellowship with friends and to be encouraged in the Lord.
