youth forum

youth forum The youth FORUM is an annual meeting of senior secondary school students in one of the schools which acts as host for the day. The theme and planning of the day is taken care of by the Youth Officer and the host school.  Guests are sometimes invited for the day too. It takes place usually the Thursday before the Feast of Christ the King, which is the last Sunday of the Church’s liturgical year and a designated Youth Sunday in some parts of the church. 

Youth FORUM 2005 took place in St Andrew’s Academy, Saltcoats. The theme was “The Way the Truth and the Life”. Our guests to help lead the day were The Living Water Ministry Team based in St Brendan’s, Saltcoats.

testimony, group tasks as well as music
and drama the theme of the day was
explored by all the participants.

About 90 young people took part in
this Youth FORUM day. This is a credit to the efforts of the RE departments of each school who take on the responsibility for encouraging the seniors to attend.

Be encouraged in your Christian faith....

The LWM challenged the senior students to reflect on and
consider the reasons and influences behind the choices and
decisions they make in life. They led one another blindfolded
around the school, took part in a life skills auction among
other things to bring to mind in a very practical way how we
are targeted in our lives by so many influences-not always
done or given with our best intentions in mind. The ability to
discern those influences and as young Christians to rely and
trust the influence of faith in our lives are essential skills in
the day to day life of a young Christian today.

Team based in St Brendan’s, Saltcoats. The ultimate message of the day however was to encourage the participants in their Christian faith, that Jesus’ way, truth and life is a real force for good in the world. The young people returned to their own schools
and homes at the end of the event encouraged by the message and atmosphere of the day.
