Alwar one day Program

A one day program was organised by the Jesus Youth in St. Anselms School, Alwar, Rajasthan. The theme of the program was "Jesus the Good Shepherd". The program was done under the guidance of Fr. Thomas Maniparambil, and Br. Siby George. The program was co-ordinated by Mr. Tennyson Abraham. The program began at 10 AM with a music session by Mr. Vinu George.
The main focus of the program was how to study and succeed in life following the path that our Lord has shown to us.

The first session was about Jesus, telling the children what were the basic qualities in Jesus and to compare ourselves to HIm and find where we find ourselves lacking. This was a practical session. After that there was a panel sharing session where Ms. Soumya Simon, Mr Sanu Thomas & Mr Tennyson Abraham, were asked different questions and that held great interest among the attending youth.

This was followed by a session on the Holy Spirit, who He is and how much He helps us in our day to day life especially the studies. The youth were delighted to hear about the Holy Spirit and they took up a resolution never to cheat again in their examinations.

This was followed by the last session of the day - how to conduct a Praise & Worship by Mr Vinu George and an adoration of our Lord in the blessed sacrament which was also lead by Mr Vinu George.

After the adoration the glow on the faces of the participants was prominent and then a few games were conducted which included the free fall. This gave all of us insights on the need and the qualities that are needed to work as a team.

After the games there was a slight refreshment and the day ended with the final prayers and blessing by Br. Siby George.
