Creator God,

whose son came to knead us into your own image,

and to fill us with beautiful flavour:

season and sprinkle us with your goodness,

so that we might be an acceptable sacrifice to you,

and a pleasant aroma to one another.

This we ask through your son, our salt,

Jesus Christ,

Amen.

We are an events based ministry for young people and youth groups in the Diocese of Waikato that will nurture young people in their faith. We meet 6 times a year, in different pasts of the diocese, to plan and run awesome youth events. Our hope is for a youth programme and a church which honours and nurtures the gifts of its young. We’d like the Church to pray that the richness of our church may touch the lives of all people in our hurting world.
