| Youth Work... The Mail Out | 7th Mar 2008 | Download | Email to a Friend |
When I was at school I sometimes 'cheated' by copying the answers from the back of the text books (I know... a bad thing to do) the teachers response was they wanted to see how I worked out the answers. I honestly believe its the same with young people - its so easy for us to pretend life is brilliant and that Jesus is the only answer any of us will ever need. Whilst this may be true I honestly believe that we all need to 'show working' sharing our bad moments with young people as well as the good. We must demonstrate faith that stands up to life's big tests.
The following may be of some interest...

Easter outreach in Coventry City Centre
Please see the attached leaflet about this year's Christ in the Precinct and ways to get involved. The focus of this activity is firmly on creating opportunities to have some good conversations with people about Christianity through service evangelism, rather than preaching 'at' people. Should be great fun. We need people to get involved with shoe cleaning, face painting we need Easter eggs to give out and people to give them! www.coventrydiocese.org/upload/file/CIP 08.pdf
