Our first full day of Youth 2011 was AWESOME!!!!. We started off with workshops in the morning which were truly inspirational for everyone, youth and adults alike. The first workshop was on teen depression and an eyeopener for me. Then I attended a workshop on CREDO confirmation, to see if we could get some new ideas for our upcoming confirmation class. It was enlightening, but similar to what we are doing with probably more materials that we could use. Lunch was sandwiches back at the hotel and a 15min rest before heading back for bible study. We had an awesome speaker who I feel really lifted us up. The afternoon LABS I attended with Junior High Kids, we broke up into groups with new kids and everybody got to know some other people from around the country, truly interestin. Then dinner break till evening worship. The evening worship has definitely been my most favorite, the music is great, inspiring and moving. The speakers are truly inspirational. Despite been really tired and longing for an early night, I stayed for the late night activity which was an illusionist called Jared Hall, he was truly amazing. Overall the kids are doing great and having a wonderful time, managing to keep going on 6 hours sleep a night (on a good night that is). All in all a very good day and I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings. Mandy Loveday

Today we went to the convention center for a workshop. I chose to attend the ''teen depression" workshop. We learned that a teenager 14-24yrs attempts suicide every 15 seconds. We then had lunch and came back to youth 2011 for LABs where we broke into smaller groups with youth from other churches all around the country. We then went to dinner and came back to the worship service for two and a half hours. Then we watched an illusionist/comedian and then we came back to the hotel to sleep.

Another long day full of worship, workshops and LABS and more worship. It's too late to get any of our youth to add their comments to the blog, but I wanted to download some photos from tonight's worship service. God is POWERFUL! May His light continue to transform our youth to grow closer to Him!!
