Worship Academy

Sarah — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 15:29:39 +0000

Worship Academy is a project offering young people from the Wirral the opportunity to explore differnt approches to Christian worship together, to gain a deeper understanding of worship. Many of those who attend are gifted musically or vocally but not neccesarily so. Whilst deliberately focusing time on ‘worship leading’ those who attend are challenged to live their whole life as an act of worship to our loving God.

We are delighted to announce the start of our next Worship Academy on Tuesday the 26th January 2010. Meeting weekly at Greasby Methodist Church from 6.45pm to 9.00pm with workshops and time to write songs, record them and spend time worshipping together.

We will be covering topics such as:

Creativity in worship
Song writing
Alternative styles of worship including Iona and Taize
What the Bible says about worship
Musicality and the technical side of worship
Leadership

Worship academy aims to provide young people with hands on experience of different types of worship whilst developing their own gifts. The team is always made up of people from different backgrounds, denominations and traditions and this means the WA team is able to give young people challenging ideas and ways of looking at worship. There are also opportunities for the young people to write and record songs through the academy.

As Sarah Hockley, founder of the Wirral YFC Worship Academy suggests, “my passion and my heart is to see young people worship God and to see young people lead other young people; to see them leading worship in Churches of young and old. Through Wirral Worship Academy I believe we are playing our part in God’s desire to raise up and nurture passionate young worshipers. This project is so important because there is a new generation of young people who have the gifts of leadership and worship, I believe that they need to be inspired and taught how to use these gifts to serve God and to serve the Church.”

If you are intrested in the next academy starting on the 26th Janurary please contact Sarah at Wirral YFC

Romance Academy

Martin — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 15:29:15 +0000

Wirral has one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancy and abortion in Europe and is home to 1000’s of young people with low self esteem who ’give themselves away’ to multiple sexual partners in an attempt to quell their sense of worthlessness. At Wirral YFC we find this situation heartbreaking and believe that the local church needs to act when faced with these issues. As a part of the church in Wirral we have decided to act in the best way that we can and We are doing this through the Romance Academy.

In September 2005 you may have seen ‘No sex please we’re teenagers’ on BBC2. It followed the lives and loves of the very first Romance Academy made up of 12 North London teenagers and a number of Christian mentors. During their time in the Romance Academy, the young people where challenged to re-evaluate their worth and self-esteem and explore the benefits and frustrations of a sex-free lifestyle …an impossible task or so they thought?

Through Romance Academies across the UK it has become clear that issues of sexual intimacy and identity act as a doorway for young people into all other areas of their lives. What those who have taken part in the project have learned has therefore-e stretched far beyond sexual health awareness. Young people have been given a safe space for exploring, challenging and trying out new ideas and attitudes and ultimately developing values and skills that they can take into the whole of their life. This approach focuses on developing young people’s character and emotional resilience.

For more information on Wirral YFC’s Romance Academies please contact Zoe Povall by emailing zoe@wirralyfc.org.uk or by calling the WYFC office on 0151 647 8400.

New Romance Academy starting on Thursday 14th January 2010 at the Hope Centre, Fishers Lane, Pensby, Wirral 5.00 – 6.30pm.

Projects

Martin — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:16:39 +0000

Wirral YFC are involved in numerous activities and projects in partnership with various organisations, churches and statutory bodies. As well as these we currently have 8 main projects which we are working on.

3 Area Projects

We have 3 area projects with a full-time member of staff overseeing each: Zoe Povall in North Wirral, Sarah Hockley in West Wirral and Rob Pitts in East Wirral. Our areas projects :

Deliver high quality lessons, assemblies and conferences in schools.
Support young people in schools with outreach activities, lunchtime and after school Pulse (Formerly CU) groups and extra-curricular sessions.
Work alongside the local church to mentor, nurture and disciple young people.
Play a key strategic role in the co-ordination of youth work provision in their areas.

2 SDA’s

Specialist Discipleship Academies or SDA’s for short are Wirral YFC’s response to our desire to work alongside the local church in the nurturing and disciplining of young people.

Local churches do an amazing job at nurturing and discipling young people and Wirral YFC have some skills, experience and training in particular areas which we can throw in to the mix. We currently have two flagship SDA’s, our Romance Academy and our Worship Academy. Please click on the links for more information on those.

Pulse

We have found in recent years that the term CU or Christian Union has become outdated and gives the false impression that these sessions are exclusive to a ‘union’ of Christians. With this in mind we have put a strategy together which we believe will have a very positive effect on schools through supporting young Christians as they put their faith into action whilst still providing a place for others to find out more if they wish. The name for this new strategy is Pulse.

If you would like to get involved in a Pulse group or to find out more information please contact us.

Catalyst

In some ways Catalyst is a series of events aimed at gathering young people from Wirral and further afield in one place to worship and pray together… But that is only the start. Catalyst the event is just one part of a strategic response to a burning desire to see young men and women of God rise up and transform what it means to live in the Wirral.

Catalyst was born out of a longing to see God do something awesome (in its true sense) among the young people in Wirral. Our vision is to inspire and encourage young Christians to seek after Gods heart and His purpose for their lives and we wish to work alongside local churches as we together seek to raise up a generation of passionate worshippers who stand firm on God’s Word and value the power of prayer. Our hope is that Catalyst will also support and enhance the great things that are already happening throughout the Wirral and provide an opportunity for youth leader networking.
