Valley church group seeks your help in video contest
YOUNGSTOWN — Jenny Cammarata believes the youth of Pleasant Grove Presbyterian Church have plotted, played out and produced a video that poignantly and positively interprets the Scripture, “Do justice, love kindness, walk humbly with your God” (Micah 6:8).
Cammarata, the youth director of the church at 3919 Southern Blvd., said junior and senior high school members of Pleasant Grove youth group and Sunday school have entered the video, “Acceptance?,” in the Youth Mission Initiative Video Challenge sponsored by the Presbyterian Church USA.
The 15 videos with the most votes will be viewed by youth advisory delegates at the General Assembly of Presbyterian Church USA from June 21-28 in San Jose, Calif. The top three will each get $25,000 for local ministry.
There’s just one thing — the youth need support from area residents in the form of votes for its video. Visit www.ymilive.org, register and then vote for the Pleasant Grove entry that is on the sixth page of the Web site.
“We need votes,” Cammarata said.
In a discussion comment that appears below the video, another Youngstown church posted this message, “You have the support of Good Hope Lutheran Church! Great video, awesome message! God bless you all.” There are other positive comments posted.
Youth group members at Pleasant Grove, who number about 15 and range from fifth through 12th grades, made the video along with Sunday school participants.
