On Friday, November 22nd, over 75 members of the Salt & Light Youth group gathered at St. Sarkis Church for the third session of this season. The evening started with a delicious dinner, after which everyone went with their respective facilitators to their small breakout groups to review the topic and discussion of the day. The topic of the day was focused around Thanksgiving, and the lesson was tied in to the biblical story of the Miracle of the Healing of the Ten Lepers in the Gospel of Luke. The facilitators led the youth through a guided discussion on gratitude in daily life, opening our eyes to seeing beyond the surface and showing compassion to people in society that may be isolated or excluded, and understanding how faith can impact the way we view challenges and blessings. The children were engaged during the discussions and it was wonderful to see their participation and contributions to this timely topic. After breakouts, all members met in the Sanctuary with Der Nareg to reflect on the topic before heading down to the Main Hall for dessert and social time.
The Salt & Light Youth Group will be holding its annual joint Christmas Party with AYF on Friday, December 13th at St. Sarkis Church and we look forward to seeing our youth and their families at this fun and festive event.
