17.01.2022 Youth minister Martin from Yagoona & Condell Park Anglican has started a new Zoom growth group after church for youth members. After noticing that their youth (years 6+) were benefiting from the church sermons, Martin developed an acronym (PRTAM) to help his youth prepare to listen well, which includes: PRAY - for the preacher, for our own hearts READ - the passage before church and at church TAKE NOTES - on the passage before church, at church, during bible reading and serm...on ACTIVELY LISTEN - to the sermon MEET - together afterwards to discuss "It helps us to keep our understanding of God and how he speaks at the forefront. I think it's been helpful for them to crystallise what they heard from the bible readings and sermons, and hone in on the how the application means for them," Martin shares. _____ Join Youthworks as we thank God for the ongoing work of our youth and children's ministries during COVID-19. #ministrysnapshots

16.01.2022 After four years as director of Year 13 Gap Year, Michael Williamson is stepping down in 2021 to become the rector of Bulli Anglican: a church that’s been without a senior minister for more than a year. This news is bittersweet for the Youthworks family. If you've done Year 13 under Michael's leadership, you know what an outstanding discipler of young adults he is and understand why we'll miss his godliness and creativity.... But we’re also able to celebrate with Bulli Anglican Church because we know Michael’s not so much leaving Youthworks as extending its vision for effective ministry to young people through the local church in an area that is exploding with youth and children. Youthworks College is beginning the process of looking for a new director to lead the program. Michael, and the rest of the team, will be on hand to help the new director and incoming students make a confident start to 2021. Please join us in praying for Michael as he completes his ministry at Year 13 and looks forward to serving God’s mission in the Illawarra.

13.01.2022 During this pandemic, young people have reported feeling more isolated and alone. Anglican SRE supports spiritual wellbeing by helping students learn they are created by a loving God who calls them to fullness of life. This empowers young people to be secure in their sense of meaning and purpose in life as well as their sense of belonging in community. Amidst the struggles they are facing, let's give thanks for SRE empowering young people to have a sense of meaning and purp...ose in life. #WhySRE #ScriptureInSchools #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

10.01.2022 Lauren, who overseas Kids Church at Summer Hill Church shares the importance of training junior leaders to serve in ministry, including youth. "One of the reasons I think it’s really valuable is because at every age, there’s something to be said for seeing what the life of faith can look like in the stage of life that’s up next for you." Lauren describes how training junior leaders in ministry also "gives the primary school kid in their small group a living, breathing examp...le of what it could look like for them to love and serve Jesus when they’re half way through high school." _____ Join Youthworks as we thank God for the ongoing work of our youth and children's ministries during COVID-19. #ministrysnapshots See more

09.01.2022 Ministry apprentice and Youthworks College student, Kendall, working in children's and youth ministry at St Mark's Anglican Church Sadleir, shares how before the pandemic, 6 youth were coming along to youth group and since returning to face to face they have increased to 17 youth attending. "We've had a really encouraging season of youth ministry at St. Mark's in these COVID times. It's been really exciting to be reminded again of how amazing Christ is through the eyes of yo...uth who have never heard the gospel." Kendall also describes how exciting it has been to see parents and grandparents intentionally disciple their kids at home during COVID and even witnessing this continue even as children's programs have returned face to face.

07.01.2022 This year has caused many challenges for the young people in our community. Special Religious Education (SRE) in public schools is such a valuable platform for young people, especially in this current pandemic. In SRE, students are encouraged to see themselves how God views them, that they are loved and valued. This helps students to have a positive sense of self-worth and identity that enables them to manage their emotional, mental, spiritual and physical wellbeing.... #WhySRE #ScriptureInSchools #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth
