Happy New Year!

Hi everyone,

It's a new year!

If you're wondering what's happening with YAM this year... you'll hear more very, very soon about the dinner party we're throwing to welcome the newly-minted young adults coming on board from the Youth side of things, as well as anyone else who's been around church but isn't yet familiar with YAM.

Evan (our new committee head) will tell us more then about what to expect, plus the many opportunities you'll get to step up and serve in YAM. We're also hoping the various young adult care-groups will get to share about what's been happening in their cg-lives.

Anyway, the new year brings a jump-start for this blog!

We hope for it to be a platform not just to keep us all up to speed with what's happening YAM-wise, but also to share resources that'll help us run with perseverance the race marked out for us and keep us looking to Jesus. (Hebrews 12:1-2, otherwise known as what's beneath our church logo.)

New links to resources we think may be helpful have been added (see blog's right side-bar). Do check those out and let us know what you think - good/bad, helpful/not so helpful? And anyone who'd like to write, redesign, spruce up this blog - do get in touch!

Those on Facebook may also have noticed the new Mount Carmel Young Adults' Ministry page - to which all blog posts are automatically linked as "Notes". Again, feedback/suggestions/ideas would be great!

All new plans and pages aside though, Mt Carmel YAM is really about the people isn't it? And we pray we'll be a group of young people truly following Jesus, loving one another. Lyrics from that song "Hosanna" come to mind too: "I see a generation/Rising up to take their place/With selfless faith/With selfless faith..." Let's be that generation, in 2011.
