By God’s grace, the
Detroit Mar Thoma Youth Group has been blessed immensely this past
year. We continued our efforts in the youth group through our
ministry teams, which we started 2 years ago. Instead of having 7
separate ministry teams we decided to reduce the number to 5. In
this new format our ministry teams consisted of Bible Study, Prayer,
Worship, Small Group, and F.C.C. (Fellowship, Community Service, and
Creative Presentation).
Over the past year the youth group has been blessed with the
leadership of many youths ranging from all ages. Their desire to see
our young youths grow in Christ has been a major factor for the
smooth running of the youth group. The youth group has been maturing
through multiple youth meetings, Friday prayers, and FNS’ throughout
the year.
This past summer the youth group had the privilege of coordinating
the VBS with the partnership of the Sunday School. Ruby Varghese was
the head coordinator and her administrative abilities and
preperation allowed this year’s VBS to be a great blessing for all
our young children. This year also the youth group took an active
role in the neighborhood ministry brought up by our beloved
Theodosius thirumeni. During the fall semester we were able to
participate in 2 homeless outreach events lead by the local T.E.A.M
ministry. Through these events many of our youths were able to catch
a glimpse of the difficulties people in our own neighborhoods are
suffering through daily. Also on December 5th we were able to host a
Christmas get together for children of the Angel Tree organization.
These are children of incarcerated parent(s) who don’t have the
privilege of celebrating Christmas with their whole family. During
the event our youth group entertained the children through a body
worship and an interactive game show. The children left the event
with a Christmas meal and gifts donated by generous members of our
church and given by a surprise visitor. Much gratitude goes to Anika
Chacko and the Angel Tree ministry team for making this occasion
such a success.
The youth group is now approaching the year 2010 with much
anticipation and excitement. We look forward to serving the church
in any way possible for the glory of our Lord. We hope and pray that
God will guide us and lead us in the upcoming year and that we can
serve him diligently.
