Easter at Youth Street

Apr 6, 2010

Youth Street is a program we put on every Saturday from 2-10pm, the afternoon the “crew” split into different teams ( Art, Music, Skate, Dance or sport ) to learn more about that skill. We then we eat dinner together then we switch into ” Youthstreet live” The evening consists of rock worship and a “talk spot” where one of the youthstreet workers gives a talk challenging the kids in their faith or TO a faith in God

This week we switched it up a bit for Easter and put on a play called ” The Passion Play” Which showed the crucifixion of Jesus, It was really cool because alot of kids who havent ever heard the gospel or the real reason for easter got to see it being acted out before them.
It was a really great play with a really amazing response at the end!
