YOUTH ACTIVITIES ON A SUNDAY MORNING
In light of the changes we have made to the youth programming with the launch of both a Junior and Senior YATA, and after some conversation with teenagers and the Sunday School teachers, we have decided to go ahead with a few practical changes in regards to how young people are involved at the Ascension on Sunday morning. The Grades 5 and 6’s and the Grades 7 & 8’s will meet as two Sunday School groups. Those in Grades 9+ are encouraged to get involved in an area of ministry in the life of the church and to be part of the adult worshipping community. There are a range of areas that young people could be involved in that include: co-teaching a Sunday School class, helping with prayers and readings, assisting with Communion, being a server or helping with the audio-visual ministry. We would strongly ask that if you are in Grades 9+ that you have a conversation with Simon Bell or the co-ordinator of a particular area of ministry about how you could get involved on a Sunday morning. If you would love to co-teach in Sunday School then Sherry Kibble would love to hear from you.
In you have any questions pertaining to the changes, please feel free to have a conversation with Simon Bell.
So you say you have faith? Let’s see it.
Want wisdom? Ask God.
Love money? Prepare to be disappointed.
Want results? Pray.
SO, bring your bible and let's get into the place where the Holy Spirit points us to the risen Jesus.
Membership
Any youth over the age of 13 are welcome to join our activities.
HERE’S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: “Jesus today has many who love his heavenly kingdom, but few who carry his cross; many who yearn for comfort, few who long for distress. Plenty of people he finds to share his banquet, few to share his fast. Everyone desires to take part in his rejoicing, but few are willing to suffer anything for his sake. There are many that follow Jesus as far as the breaking of bread, few as far as drinking the cup of suffering; many that revere his miracles, few that follow him in the indignity of his cross.” - Thomas a Kempis (Quoted by Eugene Peterson)
Matt 7:14 –
“The gate to life is very narrow.The road that leads
there is so hard to follow that only a few people find it.”
