Say it with ‘Roses’

In the 1980s ‘Cadbury’s’ ran an advertising campaign to promote their chocolate selection boxes ‘Roses’, with a song thanking different people for different ways that they helped someone out, such as feeding a neighbour’s pet bird whilst they were away on holiday.

At Llandudno Youth for Christ, we too want to say a big ‘THANK YOU’ to all of our amazing volunteers.  For everyone who gives their time, energy and money to help make all that we do in and through LLYFC possible.

Without YOU we wouldn’t be able to reach out to so many young people with the hope and life that Jesus brings. We wouldn’t be able to share the good news with so many young people in a relevant and engaging way.

So once again THANK YOU!

Today we saw just how much we rely upon some amazing people from so many different churches and from so many different life stages and backgrounds.

We held one of our annual RE:Conference days, and as I’m sure the teachers and pupils involved in the day will positively attest, our wonderful volunteers did an amazing job or facilitating discussion and creating a safe and friendly atmosphere for all involved to wrestle with the important questions of life and existence. There was even a constant supply of tea, coffee & biscuits. Yum!

The conference was title ‘Is God dead in the 21st Century?‘

Through the usage of short videos, discussions, games, quizzes, creative exercise and short talks we looked at what people thought about ‘God’.

We asked questions such as ‘Is God real?’, ‘Is God dead?’, ‘Do we need God?’

It was great to see so many young people having open and honest talks about such an important issue, and from the feedback we received they all really enjoyed the day and it certainly gave them a lot to think about.

As I said above, we would not have been able to hold this without so many willing volunteers.

Echoing the words of St Paul, we at LLYFC would like to say “We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.” 2 Thessalonians 1:3  Seeing followers of Jesus from so many places working together with the aim of being salt and light was fantastic. “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.” Psalm 133.

This unity and peace really impacted the young people; especially when there has been so much division and hate reported upon in the media of late.

So ‘THANK YOU’ for letting your “light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16.
