Youth ministry - Where have we come from?



After the last few months of journeying and praising God together, it was appropriate to spend some quality time looking back at the year 2008 and looking forward to 2009. We allocated a Sunday for this.

The theme was "Where have you come from and where are you going?".

It is in looking back that we can look forward. So there was a guided time of reflection and journaling, with workshop and celebrating the Eucharist. Each youth made a collage (or picture montage). This helps to better express emotions, events and situations, new/old relationships of the year. The youth were also led to a reflection of what they feel about their hopes and dreams, desires and wishes for the coming year. Now that we have given them the tools, we are hopeful that with this they can better set spiritual goals, physical goals and emotionally goals.

All in all we had a fun and fruitful time together.
