place in the Community of Christ. Held every four
years, IYF is truly a once-in-a-lifetime event you don't want to miss!
IYF, c’est quoi?

“ONE” is the theme for IYF 2009.
More than 1,400 youths, 250 youth leaders, and 40 church leaders from
International Headquarters and field leadership will unite to laugh, play, sing,
and worship God. Watch, budget, and prepare
for the mystery of “ONE” to unfold. Further details

Information is being finalized regarding partnering among Canada
and United States mission centers for travel to these sites. For further

kpwilson@CofChrist.org.
The IYF in Independence will continue to be followed by SPECTACULAR, held at
Graceland University, in Lamoni, Iowa, July 25–August 1. As planning continues,
the objectives will be to identify, develop, and provide programming that
emphasizes how the peace of Jesus Christ unites us in mission around the world.
There will be more field involvement in planning the 2009 IYF, and the planning
committee will include more youth and youth leaders in both planning and
implementation of the event.—Poul Wilson reporting
