Youth encouraged to “think small”

Posted in Faith

Live Life Loud, the ecumenical youth worship evening run annually at venues across South Australia, continues to grow each year. In 2018, the event will include seven huge regional events over three different dates in June.

Rev Mike Wardrop, one of the organisers of Live Life Loud 2018 and a member of Mission Resourcing’s Intergenerational Team, is getting excited about this year’s events.

“Each of the [regional] events will be full to the brim with phenomenal worship, top-shelf preaching and incredible vibes, community, food and more,” Mike promises.

The North (Playford Uniting Church), Hills (Hills Christian Community School), West (Adelaide West Uniting Church) and Eyre Peninsula (Yeelanna Uniting Church) events will take place on Friday 15 June. Two other events, North-East (Hope Valley Uniting Church) and South (Coro Uniting), will take place on Friday 29 June, while Mid-North (Horison Christian School, Balaklava) will be on Friday 22 June.

The theme for Live Life Loud this year is “Think Small”, which focuses on the message of Matthew 6:33-34.

“The mission of God is so exciting. It is powerful and beautiful and dynamic, but it is also huge!” Mike says.

“Sometimes it might feel too big for us. Do we feel the burden to personally help the poor of the world see justice? Do we feel a personal responsibility to share the message of the gospel with family and friends?

“We have great dreams, but they’re often big ones. Thinking small can help us to work out our part in God’s enormous vision - our call, our act of service, our voice.”

Further updates will be shared through New Times, UC e-News, the Uniting Church SA Youth & Young Adults Facebook page and the Uniting Youth SA Instagram account. For more information about Live Life Loud, please email Turn on Javascript!

Reflection of the Week - 19th March 2024

The act of making a pilgrimage – traveling to a sacred place to encounter the divine – is ancient, probably as old as humanity itself. Perhaps the first Christian pilgrimage was that of the Wise Men, men who were not even believers in the Messiah, but who knew that “something” drew them from their homes and studies. Unsure as to what they sought, they found not a someTHING, but a someONE: Christ the Lord.

Stories of Life

Who doesn’t love a story? Hope, conflict, wonder, desperation, loneliness, surprise, love, a hero. Story seems to be wired into our DNA. We all tell them, and we find many ways to do them.

Reflection of the Week - 26th March 2024

Reflect, today, upon how willing you are to embrace sacrifice in your own life. No, your sacrifices are not able to save the world by their own merit, but if you face your crosses in life, be they big or small, and if you intentionally and wholeheartedly unite them to the actions of Jesus that first Holy Week, then you can be certain that you will suffer with our Lord. But you can also be certain that your suffering will be transformed by the power of this Holy Week and lead you to a glorious sharing in His triumph over all sin and suffering.
