Lots "Happening" with St. John's YouthI drove down Perry Street on one of those gorgeous days we’ve had recently, and I spotted a toddler’s chubby little hand reaching out of an open car window. I pulled beside the car and saw a little girl gazing with the most contented look on her face. The sky held her rapt attention. I imagine she dreamed all kinds of wonderful creatures in the clouds. What a gift to witness! As adults, we benefit from the perspectives our children offer us. They so often remind us of the wonder of our world. And they possess a vitality that, in our focus on our myriad of adult responsibilities, we sometimes forget. Our youth, those children in grades 7 through 12, are no exception to this; yet they are unique in that they exist in the transformative space between the wonder-filled child and the busy adult. I consider it an honor to partner with parents and our wider church community to nurture our parish youth during a pivotal time in their development.ole as Youth Minister at St. John’s and all the blessings it will bring. |
