Members of the St Matthew’s Primary School, Page, Year 6 Youth Ministry Team, held a Faith Formation retreat for Kindergarten students. The morning, led by the Year 6 team, provided an opportunity for reflection on Faith and the students’ journey in coming to know Jesus.

The Youth Ministry Team at St Matthew’s consists of 28 Year 6 students who felt a call to Ministry within their school. In preparation for the event, students spent time learning different Youth Ministry skills to help them in preparing Prayer, exploring Scripture and asking questions.

The team demonstrated admirable leadership throughout the retreat, expertly applying their newly acquired skills to guide the Kindergarten students through Prayer, Godly Play and reflection.

The Kindergarten students enjoyed their time with the Year 6 Youth Ministers agreeing that it was “the best morning ever!” They loved hearing the story of Noah’s Ark and the shared reflections of their classmates.

The Year 6 Youth Ministers found the experience very rewarding. They found it fulfilling to see how engaged the students were and how much they enjoyed participating and learning.
