So I back tracked slightly and finally found time to post all my other talks that I've done this term... enjoy!
Firstly I would like to thank all of the young people who have spoken to us tonight. It has taken a lot of courage to stand in front of their friends and guests. I admire them and am very proud of them.
Secondly I’d like to thank everyone who made Youth Alpha happen and especially Carol and Jackie who have really stuck with it throughout.
The young people have already been set one challenge today, and they did amazingly well. There is one final challenge to everyone who is in this room today. Blow out the candles on you tables!
Of course that wasn’t the full challenge. As the clocks go back tonight, we will experience the darkness drawing in dramatically. This happens every year, yet we still take notice of it. How then do we respond? We switch on a light (Light own candle). The Young people heard earlier today how we are the light of the world, an inheritance from Jesus. The challenge to each of us is this, do we keep the light to our selves, effectively turning our back on the world. Or do we spread the light, giving each person we come into contact with the opportunity to have a light in their lives?
Thank you again for coming.
