Strawbridge has meant a lot to me for the past few years. Whenever my friend invited me to go to church at Strawbridge a few years ago I wasn't expecting it to have an impact on me like it did. When I went to my first youth night at Strawbridge I was the shy kid that didn't know anybody but him. One night my friend couldn't go to youth I was scared because I didn't know anybody then this group of older kids started to talk to me at that moment I knew this place had an impact on me. In my second year at Strawbridge we went into lockdown and my family moved 45 minutes away. I was sad that I couldn't see my new friends anymore but I knew I would be back someday. The reason why I came back to Strawbridge is because I missed being around the people from youth But I also felt lost and I knew that Strawbridge would bring me back somehow. But when I came back my friends have already graduated and I was back to being that shy kid I once was. But like a few years ago a couple of kids came up to me and started talking to me and later became my close friends. Strawbridge has meant more to me than I could ever imagine. It gave me a second home to come back to with some life long friends along the way to learn more about god.
