Recommended: The importance of youth ministry

I just started YCET and so far it has been amazing. We have meetings every other week. The main thing we do is plan confirmation retreats for kids in the 8th grade. Last summer, I was selected for a retreat that I attended that taught me more about what YCET did. Since then I had too fill out an extensive application and go to an interview. Long story short, I was accepted into the program. At each meeting (so far only two) we start with a bit of an ice breaker to help get to know each other. There are probably around ten new members (myself included) and the entire group is about thirty people. So, as I said before, YCET is all about planning retreats for confirmation kids. I first learned about YCET when they organized my confirmation

    ...ethnicity or culture; it happens to anyone such as, doctors, lawyers, teacher, judges, students and many more. My observation of the meeting was that every member seemed to really listen to each other’s sharing, where each member shared an experience, and others could relate to that particular experience or had similar experiences, such as struggling with promiscuous behavior or relapses in attending meetings, but they still stuck with the program because they wanted change in their lives. No one was rushed in their sharing, and everyone was opened and friendly. It was a cohesive group. I felt a sense of that openness, when I was introduced to everyone, and included at close of the meeting, where everyone one formed a circle, held hands and recited the serenity prayer. Overall, it was a new and knowledgeable experience Another Chance gave me.

  • Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is a Safe Treatment for Mental Disorders

    2002 Words  | 5 Pages

    A.     Thesis Statement Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a treatment for severe mental illness in which the brain is stimulated with a strong electrical current which induces a seizure. The seizure rearranges the brain's neurochemistry and results in an elevation of mood. This essay asks: Is ECT any safer and more effective in treating mood disorders than drug therapies? This treatment has a controversial history ever since it was first introduced in 1938. I intend to argue that electroconvulsive therapy is indeed a safe treatment of mental disorders when other treatments have failed.

    The meeting opened with the Serenity Prayer. We went around the room as the ten people who attended introduced themselves. We took turns reading from an AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) book. Alcoholics Anonymous uses the same basics in recovery. A list was passed around during the reading for everyone to sign their names and give their phone numbers. The telephone is an important tool in OA for getting and giving support and reminding you that you are not alone. After reading for 20 minutes members shared their thought, experience, strength and hope. Each member had three minutes to express themselves. A bag was passed around for optional member contributions to help pay for additional book or other helpful material. The meeting ended with the OA Promise, “I Put My Hand in Yours,”. Everyone stood in a circle and held hands while saying the

  • Confirmation Essay Examples

    1537 Words  | 4 Pages

    According to the MyJewishLearning webpage, preparations for this event often begin a year in advance with the candidate learning about the religion and families making preparations for those who are going to attend, and culminate in the candidate reading from the Torah, and delivering readings and prayers. After completing this, the young candidate is thrown a celebration as an acceptance into the Jewish religion. This compares with two of my examples, but not becoming a camp counselor. When you are confirmed you must learn about the history of the Christian religion, and go into in depth studies of various events, individuals, and traditions. This culminates in the Bishop recognizing you as confirmed, and acceptance into the Church community. In the Order of the Arrow you must prepare, however instead of a year, the preparation lasts for a day of intense work and learning values. You are received as a member of the Order of the Arrow in a celebration of those who have also achieved the honor. However, becoming a camp counselor differs from a Bar or Bat Mitzvah. You choose to become a counselor based on the idea that you can recreate a similar or better experience for future campers. There is also no celebration for becoming a counselor, you choose to take upon the responsibilities, without expecting commendation or

  • Group Therapy Reflection

    1163 Words  | 3 Pages

    Especially, when it comes to physical and emotional responsibility. In our sessions, I felt as though the group leaders provided an enormous sense of emotional support. I felt as though the environment was stable and conducive to learning. The setting at first was somewhat tense, but this was acceptable considering that many of us were unfamiliar with the group therapy process. I myself had never undergone a group therapy session, whatsoever. I did, however, appreciate the fact that the environment was quite fair and impartial. The leaders were very nonjudgmental and affirmative in their responses when it came to each and every person’s comments and feedback. Everyone was engaged and actively participated. The group was not hostile and everyone participated in the conversations as well as the exercises chosen. I also felt as though everyone was emotionally tied in. Meaning that if someone was dealing with a personal issue or their emotions were all over the place then the group was susceptible to that individuals needs. For example, we experienced group member who had experienced the loss of a friend. Immediately, each group member became involved and concerned. We were immediately concerned with whether or not she was taking time to grieve or if she was simply doing enough to take time out for herself. In all, the environment over the course of each therapy session displayed a great sense of empathy, concern and support. Another session, in particular, that truly stands out to me in terms of support was when we were asked to share our life experiences and dreams. I can recall stating that I was going to school in order to finally do something for myself. I had completed my bachelor’s degree at the age of 40 and had plans to continue education until I complete my PhD. What was so different was the fact that they understood. They understood, I was trying

    If everything goes fine then I would get compliments and praise. On the other hand if it did not go well then I would have plenty of comments about how it needed improvement. That was my new job. My first meetings were rough and I was nervous. I never talked loud enough, forgot to announce important events, and always ran out of activities for scouts. I could not keep meetings quite for more than two minutes until I had to stop and patiently wait for silence. The hardest part was keeping control over all of the kids ranging any where from 10 to 17 years old. Kids always wanted to sit out and and it proved difficult getting everyone to participate. Keeping everything under control and going to all of the different events definitely put a strain on me. I had to learn to better manage my time and be able to get everything done that I needed to complete.

  • Reflection On Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting

    1450 Words  | 3 Pages

    I attended the “11th Step” meeting at the Newman Congregational Church. The 11th Step uses meditation as a form of recovery. This was an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting that takes place every Tuesday night. It was very difficult to find a meeting that was convenient for my schedule. They frequently took place at night when I had class, or on weekend mornings when I had to work. I originally sought help from a previous professor in finding a support group, however, Courtney and I ended up finding this particular one on our own through searching the internet. Although it was difficult for me to find a group that was convenient, I believe this particular time is the most accessible to those who had attended this meeting. The experience was overall very positive even though I was hesitant to attend at first, I did not realize how influential AA was to a recovering alcoholic before attending this meeting.

I feel that I would have gotten more out of this Coop experience if our school year would have ended a little later, but overall, I think I received a lot from this time. My Coop was at my work at Head Start PDPY in North Platte. The center is a newly renovated room, so it is nice and clean with lots of storage space. Overall, I really enjoy working in the space because it is convenient and although it is small, we are able to make it work well. I felt that I grew as a professional and educator during the time at my coop. There were some specific things that I really felt I grew on as I was co-teaching my preschool children. This quarter

  • Kid's Connection Narrative Report

    449 Words  | 1 Pages

    The time I spent at Kid’s Connection was full of excitement and learning. The first twenty or so minutes of Kid’s Connection is devoted to a bible lesson. The kids all sat in a designated area and listened to the message while the volunteers set up the many tables for crafts. The children got to pick from seven different craft ideas. I was put in charge of a craft involving copious amounts of glue which made quite the mess. The children really enjoyed craft time and so did I. During the end of craft time parents began arriving upstairs to pick their children up. We cleaned up all of the crafts and had spelling time or game time. This experience was new to me as I have not spent a large amount of time around children. I learned that while dealing with kids, it is very important to have patience and understanding, as well as a servant’s heart.
