YouthGroup - Worship Pathways
Youthgroup on Wednesday night (last night) was based on Worship pathways. Last Sunday's church service talked about the different pathways in which people connect with God and some people got up the front and shared how a pathway that they connected to God by actually connected them. And how they lived life according to that pathway. Hmm.. that probably wasn't a very good way of explaining that, If anyone can explain that better then you're welcome to comment.
Back to the point though; Wednesday night was more about just being put into an experience of finding God through each of the eight pathways. What I mean by that is that there was no explaining, like on Sunday, about how it worked for the person up the front but rather we were exposed to different situations and then decided for ourselves which, if any, made us feel closer to God. So for instance the Serving Pathway was the youthgroup cleaning the windows, vaccumming, etc because it would save someone else having to do it (Dave Smith. Also Dave I'm sorry but the vaccum cleaner strap broke while someone was using it, it's fixable but I couldn't seem to get it back on as I didn't have a plier or anything) Another Pathways was Contemplative where we heard a verse and music played softly while we thought about what it meant to us in the silence; And as we did, we could light a candle and float it on water as a prayer for someone.
Anyway, then after we finished (excuse my wording Jas), some guy got blindfolded and faithwalked by two lovely ladies all around and throughout the church grounds and then into a room full of the rest of us who surprised him with a Birthday tea-Party. That's right, a tea party. There was cups of tea as well as party food and hats and the whole birthday shabang. I'll tell ya what, it was the best tea party I've ever been to so I really want to congratulate and thank the people involved in setting it up. I'm sure the blindfolded guy really enjoyed it. Pity you didn't really have a camera with you though! Hehe.
So that was youthgroup yesterday night.
