Youth Conference Reunion

This year the Youth Conference Reunion was held at Ely. The actual journey to get there was 4 hours but upon arriving there, it always seems to make me smile. It was good to see some old faces as well as some new. On the Friday it was just a catch up time for all of us.

After a few hours sleep, Saturday arrived, and we had a big day ahead of us. The preacher, Dan, was talking to us about the Power of Christ, and the activities we did in the afternoon certainly showed us this. The three activities were litter picking, giving out chocolates on the streets and doing a treasure hunt. The group I was in was the treasure hunt. What happens is that you pray to God to give you specific words or phrases and see if they match to any of the columns you have. The columns were place, name, appearance, illness and other. They you go out to these places and try to find these people. We found five people on the street and we prayed for them. It really opened my eyes to how God works through people.

On the Sunday,the inevitable happened - it snowed. We had to walk from the church where we were staying to the school where the service was held. After the service we had lunch with the members of the church. After this we returned to the Church and we parted our ways back across the country. It was truly a memorable Youth Conference. Thanks to all the committee that helped to make this conference fantastic.
