Talking
Teens Are Seeking New Leaders/Helpers for This Fall!
Erica
has been leading Talking Teens for the last two years, (with Ha Na, 2014-5).
Recently, she has decided to continue her faith and life journey living with
the people at Ploughshares Community Farm, Beausejour, MB. Blessings, Erica!!
While
we send our blessings on her adventure, (We’ll keep in touch with her, for
sure!), Talking Teens is seeking new volunteers to lead/help for this fall. Talking Teens meet on two Sundays every month
and also on weekdays for other activities. Please have a look at TT Schedule
for Fall, 2015 below to see if our new season attracts your interest
and / or desire to participate! (Please call/text at Ha Na's cell or email to Hana.Park@ucim.org)
As a
Talking Teens leader, you will be able to:
- - create a type of worship that you find most meaningful and share
it with a small group that is open, flexible and non-judgemental
- - get to know our youth
- - bring whatever you want to share (whatever you like that is appropriate
for church. Our youth is such a flexible group!)
- - explore alternative ways of worshipping that are physical,
interactive and movement-based (It is more active than (just!) sitting in
the pews!) and to push at the edges of what it means to be the church.
- - be experimental
- - try out your skills in a safe environment
- - talk about your own faith journey with a non-judgemental audience.
Share your Two Cents! (For example, Erica always liked to share the deep sense
of being loved by this specific community and creation. Love is powerful and
acting in the world all the time!)
- - Last but not least, according to Erica, you will enjoy the “great”
benefit which is to work with Ha Na. True! :)
