Youth gather to have a better understanding of Easter.

During Palm Sunday, the St Ignatius Church (SIC) youth ministry hosted a youth gathering to discuss Easter and the Hope it brings. The discussion was led by Jessamin Ng and Lareina Anne, who took the time to prepare a slideshow to keep the youth enthralled and help them have a better understanding of Easter.

The session began with youths in small groups sharing in the break out rooms. These activities required each member to run around their house and do fun actions ranging from finding an object that you think is the oldest in your house to finding the biggest fruit you can find. As they reconvened in the main ses sion, the hosts presented a short praise and worship video — of the SIC Youth Ministry singing and performing hymns in their church. This was a spectacular event as many members were singing along virtually.

After this short warm up, the main discussion on Hope of Easter began, and the slideshow, containing facts on Holy Week, images of Easter, along with some topics to discuss, was presented. During this 90-minute period, the group went on and off in breakout rooms in order for each youth member to feel more open as they discussed their personal insights and feelings amongst a smaller group of friends. This was especially wonderful as we could communicate and also expe rience the hardships in the lives of others during such a challenging time.

The session was also inspiring as they spoke and pondered on their joys and sorrows — though most importantly, what they were going to do about these sorrows in the future.

The SIC Youth Ministry deserves a vote of thanks for hosting such an engaging youth gathering on the topic of Easter. What a way to begin Holy Week!
