Week 6

After two weeks of spring break I finally got back into thee swing of things, quite easily actually. This Sunday we took a trip to Winterjam. Winterjam is a christian rock tour that had bands including Hawk Neslon, The Afters and Toby Mac. It was an awesome experience and I had a great time with the kids, learning that music is a huge inspiration for them.

God Bless

5.5 Hours ( WinterJam)

1 Hour (Preperation )

1.5 Hours ( Drive)

8 Hours


Personal Reflection :

I gained alot of knowledge about the kids musical style and preferences. Ii really enjoyed worshipping God and rocking out at the same time at Winterjam.


Spiritual Reflection :

The spiritual aspect was pretty amazing this week being at this Christian music festival. I worshipeed God in hip-hop and rock and even in a gospel style. It was awesome. A really nice change from the usual youth group, especially when building a tolerance when your on the road with the kids and in the van for several hours with them . :p

Week 5

This week we had a normal Sunday youth group, we had a Bible study and then we had snacks and the kids shared some of their personal stories. We only had 2 kids at youth group so there wasnt much discussion, but it was nice to hear a little from the kids.

Also on I attended and shadowed the youth pastor for the Ash Wednesday service, it was quigte an interesting experience. I learned that there was so much more work that goes into a service then i thought. Most of the work actually goes on behind the scenes in pastoral work.


God Bless

1 Hour ( Meeting with Jeff)

1.25 Hours ( Board Meeting)

2 hours ( youth group)

Personal Reflection :

This week i learned a lot about the kids that we have in this youth group. Personal stories really helped in the processes of getting to know the kids.


Spiritual Reflection :

This week I really grew from learning to gain tolerance and patience for other people in the church, especially in the "behind the scenes" aspect of the ministry.
