Collects
Jesus our temple, who conquered death and abides in God’s house,
grant that our love for your house burns in us like a fire,
and that we as your young people of today,
will remember the words you yourself spoke to the Jewish leaders
and serve you with our alofa and mana,
through you O God who is slow to anger but swift to forgive.
AMEN
Samoan
Iesu e, Le matou te malu ai, ua e faaumatia le oti ma ua e i le saofaiga ma le Atua, ia ola lo matou alofa ia te oe e pei o se afi mumu ina ia manatua e lenei augatupulaga au fetalaiga i le nuu o Isaraelu ma tautuaina lau afio i le alofa ma le malosi, aua o lau afio le Atua e, ua telegese lou toasa ae televave lau faamagalo.
Amene.

Sisu, ko koe ‘ae temipale koe hoifua’anga ‘oe ‘otua,
Ngaohi homau ngaahi loto kemau vivili ‘ihe loto mafana ki ho fale tapu,
Kemau lea ‘ihe laumalie ‘oe afi ‘iho temipale,
Pea ke mau tauhi kiate koe ‘aki ‘ae kotoa ‘emau mo’ui,
‘ki he ‘otua ‘oe ‘alo’ofa moe faka molemole, pea oku tuai ke houhau. ‘Ameni

The Samoa Agelu Youth Group – Diocese of Polynesia Bishopric Youth in NZ.
We are young pacific islanders all Samoan and we range from the age of 13 to 19 who come together any time we can even if its for practice or just for fellowship. We enjoy each others company and we basically just love working together as a Youth for a project or for God’s calling.
We meet every Saturday at our Church in Mangere!
When we get together it is usually for our practice for our songs that we sing during Communion on Sundays, or Youth Meetings, or even Bible Studies. We have practice every Saturday but we have alternate Saturdays where we have either Bible Studies or clean up.
At the moment our group’s hope and dream is to fully utilize our Youth members talents to the best of their ability and for glorifying God and using it to praise God. We pray for the use of the Youth in the Church and the growth of Youth so that they may become great and mighty leaders for God within the Church.
