Monday, Again

Canada Youth ended a couple days ago now, and I’m still missing it.

It was a truly awesome experience, visiting with the Lord, and with fellow Presbyterians across Canada, and the world even! New friends were made, old friends reconnected, networks and relationships formed. Everyone left the conference with something. I left equipped, but in a way I wasn’t thinking. Rather than learning how to run a Bible Study, how to bring youth to the church…I was equipped with how to pray about myself (something we often forget to do), how to take Sabbath, and how to form relationships with the youth I will be ministering to.

How will it end? In Fire…

Friday, CY can’t be over, not yet!

It may be over, but I feel ready, equipped, knowing that I have the support of all the people in the Youth Ministry branch.

Thursday morning was our day of rest, a chance to sleep in, relax, reflect and recharge for the rest of CY. I took advantage of that to be able to sleep in and visit Spirit Grove. The trick to finding Spirit Grove is to not look too hard for it. It’s tucked away in an isolated section of the campus. A quiet space to reflect, meditate, and listen to God’s voice.

Wednesday – Fog and Old Books

The morning started off with a thick fog covering the campus. It was fun to wander around that morning before everyone else was up, the campus silent and muffled, with only myself and my friend James walking around taking photos.

The Faces of CY

Since it’s midnight at this point and really I couldn’t compose a real blog post…I’ll use the format that I do the best…photos.

Tuesday – Blogging At Breakfast

It was like going back to school, but in a good way. Of course first was group building activities, thankfully it wasn’t like what Fox Mulder expected, stacking furniture; instead we built trees, from newsprint. I was a little wary of a two hour plenary session, I’m not afraid to admit that. But I was wonderfully surprised by Andy Root, who easily blew through the two hours.

Monday Monday Monday!

I really thought that by leaving at 1:30 I’d be one of the first participants here. In fact I had the set the cruise control on the car just to keep myself from speeding; I was that excited to get to Canada Youth. Getting to CY early would be good; getting a speeding ticket in the process wouldn’t.
