PASIFIKA YOUNG LEADERS GATHERING
PASIFIKA YOUNG LEADERS GATHERING
How can we live out the Gospel story of Jesus Christ in
AOTEAROA NZ, as Pacific Young People.
Leaders group will engage in prayerful consideration and
meditation about the purpose of all these gathering that we have in the Church.
How can these be managed so that they work in with ech other, rather than
polarising young people.
- Regional gathering (inclusive of all youth groups from an ecumenical family of churches around the Region.)
- Ethnic
gatherings: Mapu (
WORSHIP: if this is the call that we are invited to take up,
WORSHIP OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR, then we do need to be gathered in his name. That we
are call to come with our diversity, and seek ways found only at the base of
the Cross, of being United in Him.
Its wonderful to immerse ourselves in the church traditions
and cultures that have made us who we are, as long as we do this as well as
reaching out to others in the community to share in this glorious pentecost
experience. Jesus commission us to go forth and make disciples of all nations
baptising them in the name of the FATHER SON AND HOLY SPIRIT.
We are called to PREACH, we are also called to TEACH, and we
are call to share attributes that Christ has, in loving, kindness, generous,
concerned of our wellbeing, search of the lost, and in ways that we live our own lives.
It was obvious from our first meeting that there are some in
our lineup of young leaders that have the passion to preach the word of God,
others are great strategists who will help us plan well, others are super great
musicians who could lead the upskilling of some of our musicians in Parish
youth groups. Others obviously have the wisdom and abilities to read church
structures and governance and advise young people of best practice at local,
regional and national level.
There will no doubt be others who are great organizers and
managers of events that will work towards community gatherings and community
worship.
This second meeting is to begin planning on ways that we can
manage this journey.
I have made suggestion on what could appear in the agenda in
the blogg of the first meeting of leaders. But please come prepared to share
what is God saying to you and if possible offer yourselves to head specific
tasks that may be agreed as ways forward.
The next meeting will be on the
14th (Friday) September 2012 or 22nd
(Saturday) September 2012.
Please indicate the date that you would prefer out of the
two, and we will see which date to run with.
VENUE WILL BE at Knox Parnell
Lunch will be provided.
Opening devotion will be conducted by Nate, Tani and Gary.
PLEASE BRING DETAILS OF YOUR PARISH ACTIVITIES IN REGARDS TO
YOUTH SERVICE< WORSKSHOP< OUTING<etc so we can have a event
caledar for youth mission and ministries
in Auckland
We will take time to map out matters of mission, ministries,
training, theology, sense of call, identity issues, intergenerational
issues........
If there are issues that you would like to appear in the
AGENDA this time, please indicate early and so we either include it for this
meeting or note it for the next.
