The Youth Programme
The youth group had fun during their sessions, facilitated by Kenneth Korsah from SOCMS: discussions, a football game, and even during meal times. They also reflected on several issues as they discussed the creation story (Genesis 1:1 – 2:3) and came up with some resolutions for themselves, the Church and the world as a whole.
We would like our church to be
- A church for all people: incorporating all races, colours, genders and status.
- Giving support and help to the vulnerable in the church and community.
- More universally appealing by being more interactive.
- A balanced liturgy with as much modern music as traditional hymns.
- For everyone: every person has a say in the running of the church.
- Reaching out into the community.
- Giving a good example for the community on social justice and care issues.
We would like our world to be
- A peaceful world without fighting and wars.
- Helping each other; being each other’s keeper.
- There is need to stop the greediness of leaders and countries, and the exploitation of the weak and vulnerable.
- Wise leaders who would think and care for their people without exploitation or abuse of power.
- Unity among all people, celebrating the diversity of all people and respecting all people regardless of background, ethnicity, age or gender.
- Remember that all the world’s people are originally one family.
