Today a team from Ngatiawa headed over to the Central Easter Camp a little north of Wellington. About 1000 teenagers camping out and journeying through the Easter weekend together. Mostly Baptists but this year some Anglican youth groups are joining in and the Ngatiawa contemporary monastery, where we are staying, have been invited to lead some prayer.
Our role is helping to create some creative prayer spaces, art stations, hosting the daily rhythms, prayer vigils and midnight mass, etc. And trying to do it in a way that wild young hyperactive teenagers can easily access, hear God’s voice and perhaps share that revelation with others through creative arts.
Every year our youth group does a special lesson with prayer stations for Easter. Everything from hammering nails to feeling a crown of thorns to tasting vinegar. Every year it proves to be an amazing experience!
Check out what one of my kids wrote as they looked deeper into the Easter story.
