SG YAYA(Ste-Genny's Youth and Young Adults)
Who's Invited?
We have
a Youth Group
FOCUS
for
ages 12-16
and a Young Adults Group
LIGHT
for ages 17-25.
What Do We Do?
We
support our church by aiding other groups of
our church with their
events: Community's Coffeehouse and various
Ste-Genny's
Fundraisers. We have done fundraising for outside
organizations. We also organized some events for the
whole
congregation, like "Walking in His Footsteps", and occasionally lead in
Sunday worship.
We
have weekly discussion groups (Sunday mornings)
related to the
scripture readings of the week. We lead one worship service in June,
and do other in-service activities during the year for special events
and/or holidays.
We have had joint activities with several other churches (from various denominations) throughout the West-Island. These activities include: an evening of improv, a survivor day challenge, a body maze, a scavenger hunt, a mystery night, bowling and so much more to come! In April 2008 we visited a Sikh temple, in March 2009 a Mosque. During summer and fall 2008 several youth spent an evening working on the Dans La Rue bus (The Van) to serve and assist youth living on the street. In October 2009 we had a very moving presentation and discussion about Invisible Children. We have started a project on this, raising funds and increasing awareness of the plight of child soldiers in Uganda. A group of youth, and several leaders, attended the Worshiplude Youth Rally in Ottawa in February 2010 and again in February 2011. See a brief video of Worshiplude 2011 here. In February 2012 and 2013 groups again attended Worshiplude. There can be no better testimonial about how great an experience Worshiplude is than the fact that people keep on going back, and back, and back.
Everyone is welcome at our get togethers. Bring a few friends.The possibilities are endless as we are always open to suggestions!
