Before we had our Director meeting at church, we where asked to think about what we wanted for our deparpartments. (i.e. fundraisers, events, outgoings, etc…)
One of the first things that came to my mind was the youth choir. The last time the youth choir actually sang at our church was back in…
Wow. I cant even remember. What i do remember was that we had sis. Alondra in charge of the youth choir, and after she left for Bible school, the youth choir just seemed to dissapear. that was about 4 years ago.
My main goal this year is to revive the tradition we once had. Although i’m not a parent yet, i believe its important to have our youth involved in some way at our church. Yes, we do have the Youth Services every Thursday, but not every youth participates in them. A youth choir would give them all the oportunity to participate. To feel like they belong to something. And best of all, it would keep them busy.
A bored young person is likely to get into more trouble than a busy young person.
So… I’ve scheduled the youth choir to sing every last sunday of the month. I want to start a little slow, and as time goes by, start working with them more, and more.
You know, as i think about it, i can feelt that we have so much potential within our youth. There’s so much we can do for the God. All we need to do is just tap into that potential, and BOOM! We can become a blessing to our congregation, to our community, and most importantly, to the work of God.
So far, i’ve had good feedback from some of the Youth. Thats great!
Lets see how our 1st practice in 4 years goes on Sunday….
