Youth Council Meeting on February 7th

On February 7th, I attended the monthly Youth Council meeting. Today, we reviewed the agenda for the upcoming confirmation retreat at Holy Names parish on February 21st. In this retreat, I will be leading the quilt activity where all the students will draw a picture on a quilt of their faith. Later on, 3 members of the Youth Council practiced saying their testimonies, or talks, about their faith. The first speaker talked about the challenges she faced in maintaining her faith, but realizing God's love in the process. The next speaker talked about overcoming hardships in life and how that affects our relationship with God. His main message was to always go back to God when facing challenges. The last speaker discussed his path to choosing God and being transformed with his faith. In the end of each talk, the audience gave positive and constructive feedback to the speakers. I contributed by giving the feedback of connecting the talks to confirmation, keeping eye contact with the audience, and keeping the audience engaged. Lastly, we briefly discussed the Food Fast that we will be planning for on April 18. All the events we are planning for will hopefully introduce youth to their faith and help them build a personal relationship with their faith.
