Memorial youth lead the way!
Strong adult leadership, a large number of participating youth and a common dedication to both fun and spiritual growth add up to one of the strongest youth programs in the Western Up County. While Middle School age youth and High School age youth each form a separate group, all the youth participate in many of the activities that constitute the Memorial Youth Fellowship year-round program.
The Vacation Bible School at Memorial, this year conducted the week of August 10th, had as its theme, “Power Lab: Discovering Jesus’ Power.” The combination of excellent learning materials, enthused volunteers and, most important, enthused and interested children made for another good session this year. The photos show three breakout groups from just one nights’ programming.
1 - Kids like to dance! The Power Lab materials provided a sing-a-long Power Point Presentation for some bouncy, yet message-filled singing, based on the theme,”Jesus has got the power.” It didn’t take much prodding from the leaders for the kids to start their singing and begin their stomping and clapping.
2 - Kids like to do crafts! In this exercise the crafts of a breakout group symbolized “the power to live forever.” They were more than happy to show their personal creations of a Jesus who rose to “live forever.”
3 - Kids like to eat! Each group enjoyed a “snack time,” but again the purpose was serious. Here kids are stimulated to think about the most important symbol in Christianity and how it relates to living forever by having a discussion about the meaning of “cookie crosses.”
