Meeting 19th June 09
This was perhaps our biggest and busiest meeting to date. As part of the meeting we said some hellos to 3 new members and also to some visitors from Nottingham and Southwell diocese who are looking at setting up their own Youth Council. We also said some goodbyes though as this was the last meeting for 6 of the youth council members who are moving on to University or Gap Years next year. So it was hello to Ruth, April and Jess and goodbye to Lizzie, Katy, India, Heather, Hanpag and Kat.
At the meeting we took time to review the Prayer Fast event, we talked to the new Diocesan Child Protection Adviser, heard reports back from CEYC and Bishop’s Council and most importantly voted for our new chair, vice chair secretary a representatives. After much discussion, votes, counting and re-votes we agreed! So well done to Tom our new chair, Andrew and Lauren our new vice chairs, Becky our new secretary, Beth and Leah our CEYC reps and Izzie and Tim our Peak Centre reps.
As it was the last meeting (and Izzie’s birthday) we enjoyed lots of pizza and pasta and had a beautiful cake. Photos from the meeting are in the gallery.

PrayerFast Event May 09
20 young people from around Derby Diocese took up our challenge to not to eat anything for 24hours and to drink only water and joined us at Wingerworth Parish Church Centre on Friday 1st May. The idea of this event was to raise money for Tearfund (the youth council’s chosen charity for 2009), to raise awareness of the issues faced by those in poverty and to explore different ways in which we can worship and pray. And I think we just about managed to meet our objectives…
We raised over £1000 for Tearfund (a big thank you to all those who went hungry). We created posters and presentations about the four key issues of HIV/Aids, Water Sanitation, Natural Disasters and Climate change and we took part in a role play challenge helping us to think about what it would be like living in poverty. We also took part in a variety of worship from traditional compline to dancing the can can and singing ‘Happy Day’ and at almost all times during the 24hours we had someone praying in our interactive prayer room.
