A little bit about me…

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Hey guys,

Anthony has asked me to write a little bit about myself to help you get to know me, so here goes;

I come from a Christian family and ever since I was a tot I attended

St Andrews Church in Bebington which is only a couple of minutes walk from where I live with mum, dad and my elder sister Helen who is currently away studying at university.

I have been involved in the youth group at

St Andrews since the age of 10 and more recently I have helped with some activities as a junior leader.

During the summer holidays I flew off to

Canada with a bunch of friends from my old youth group to work on a Christian camp run by an organisation called Young Life. The camp was in Princeton British

Columbia and its main aim is to bring Christ in to the lives of young people. I spent over seven weeks serving there and was lucky enough to get to spend five days holiday in

Vancouver before flying home.

I became a committed Christian about five years ago after spending a weekend away with my youth group at a camp in Bala North Wales.

Over the last two years I attended

Birkenhead

Sixth

Form

College where I studied Childcare Education, I was lucky enough to graduate this summer.

So how did I arrive at Hoylake?

Well I came to hear about the gap year course after talking with one of my youth group leaders who suggested contacting Martin Dickson at Wirral Youth For Christ (WYFC) to ask him about any voluntary work I could get involved with. Martin gave me details about the opportunity to work with both WYFC and St Luke’s. After praying about it I really felt God was telling me to go for it, so after meeting with both Martin and Anthony here I am!

I am really looking forward to gaining  lots of experience throughout the year, getting to know you all at St Lukes, and particularly getting to know all the youth group and building up good relationships with them as we share the next 12 months together.

Finally thanks to you all for this opportunity and the support I have already received from the Church

I hope that helps but if you want to know more just ask.

Jenny
