Each year we include in .Youth

a Feast
supplement for the young people in the Church. We would appreciate it if

informal survey to find out how well we are meeting the
needs of Church teens in your area. Specific article ideas, questions
teens would like answered, games and puzzles--any and all suggestions are
welcome. Subjects not related to the Feast can be helpful, too. We
would apgreciate any input on how we can improve and make the Feast
supplement more effective.

'We ask for your continued prayers on behalf of the Ambassador College
students and faculty.
