Youth Worship Night

 
On 25 February, we held our first ‘Youth Worship Night’  - a night for ‘the young and the young at heart.’ This worship service took place during the evening service worship slot and will happen on the last Sunday evening of every month at 7:00 pm. We had a good attendance of folk from the first and second Sunday morning services at Mayfield Salisbury, totaling around 30 people.

There were moments of scripture, song and various ways of praying which included ‘praying in colour’ and prayer stations throughout the sanctuary. The service’s theme focused on Lent and the various stages of ‘letting go,’ ‘welcoming in,’ and ‘going out’ that encompass our individual and collective Lenten journeys.
 
The contemporary service style is geared toward the teens, but structured so that all ages can benefit from the service. The hope is that this service will be a space for Mayfield’s youth to have another opportunity to explore and reflect on their faith, in addition to developing leadership skills by helping to run the service. Another aim of the evening is to see inter-generational relationships formed within Mayfield by offering an additional chance for members from both morning services to interact more with our youth.
 
All members of the congregation are encouraged and welcome to join in this service and we look forward to seeing you next time!
