HeartSpeak
The YOUTH REACH has a new look, and a new name!

YOUTH REACH, our youth news publication, has been in existence since 1991.  It then appeared in a large, four-page printed publication and was mailed out to all of the youth membership.  In January of 2007, the YR got a boost as it went to four-color, and was printed right inside our church's flagship publication, the Bible Advocate.
 
Now, in January 2009, you can flip open this issue of the Bible Advocate and find a new look and a new feel to our youth publication.  Edgier, youth focused, and streamlined, our youth publication is now known as HeartSpeak.  A short article from our new editor, Michael Mancha, within the new edition explains our new focus and name.  So pick up a copy and read it today!  
 
Your family should receive the Bible Advocate already.  If not, your church should have extra copies.  If all else fails, we'll have it available online here soon!  More info can be found on our HeartSpeak Page!  When you've taken a look, email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it and let us know what you think!
