On Saturday the 13th of July youth from across the Diocese gathered at St Paul's Cathedral for a day filled with worship, food, and fun.

Saturday morning started nice and early for those youth traveling from Balclutha to Dunedin for the Diocesan Youth Fun Day held at St Paul's Cathedral. However, they arrived to a warm crypt and plenty of morning tea to get rid of any lingering chill. Slowly other youth from across the Diocese started to arrive and the fun day was ready to start.

In keeping with our Anglican heritage, the Fun Day started with morning prayer held in front of the high altar. During the service the group of young people went around four different stations:

• Prayer Wall: a chance for young people to draw or write their prayers.
• Lightbox: an opportunity to design their own stained glass window.
• Water Station: where the young people read bible verses and poured water into jugs if the verse was speaking to them.
• Labyrinth: a symbol of their journey with Christ.

The day continued with games and then pizza for lunch.

Then it was a chance to run around and shoot (with lasers) each other at Laser Tag. Everyone who participated had a great time and enjoyed both games of laser tag.

A quick trip back to the Cathedral for a few more games and then ice cream and lollies to finish of the day, with promises of more events like this one to follow.
