something in common

our youth conference report


Sitting in the Crows Nest hall listening to the "youth" of NSW making their final presentations, a thought crossed many minds: "...its a good turn out...but is this all the youth of NSW?"
If not in these words and at that moment, the question was whispered to the person sitting close by at some point during the day.


At the 9th State Youth Conference held on 9th -11th October this year, the youth that did attend were a blessing. Firstly, if there was any more who decided to attend, the lunch hall could not have been any more intimate. But most importantly the youth were a blessing to each other. A month has nearly gone by, but that percentile of youth walked away energised (if that is the right word to capture the feeling of the day). So much so that the request for an annual youth conference was raised!


We have fellow Leichhardt parishioners who attended the day, contributed to this blog entry (see below post) with what they had to say about their experience at the conference.


Did you attend the conference? 
What were your feelings from the day? 
Was it your first time? And would you go again? 
Comment with your thoughts.


To quench our curiosity, youth to youth (by no means will any reports be made), we have set up a poll on the right side bar to ask:


What kept you away? 


Please tell us. It will definately be interesting to see the results next month. Until then...


God Bless.
