A

says
a
thousand
words
right?
In
December
we
started
working
on
collecting
images
of
what
the
youth
thought
God’s
love
looks
like
using
Photovoice.
Photo
‐
voice
is
used
as
a
way
to
have
those
who
are
marginal
‐
ized
in
community
to
share
a
story,
their
viewpoint,
or
a
message
about
how
they
see
the
world,
in
a
power
‐
ful
way.
Using
image
youth
have
an
op
‐
portunity
to
share
how
they
see
God’s
love
in
our
world.
This
project
will
also
offer
a
gift
to
the
church
community
when
we
share
the
images
for
February
14th—a
day
we
celebrate
love
in
our
society.
We
need
more
images
,so
youth,
get
out
the
camera
and
find
God’s
love
in
our
world.
Send
any

look
like?

God’s
love
is
good
friends
who
love
you.,
a
place
to
be
yourself,
a
community
who
accepts
you,
a
place
you
can
show
God’s
love
to
others.
Just
who
is
this
youth
leader?
Two
years
ago
Michele
Walker
started
as
the
youth
leader
for
the
three
United
Churches
in
Kamloops.
Michele
agreed
to
cover
for
a
few
months
until
the
Youth
Advisory
Committee
found
someone
to
take
over
permanently.
After
2
months
Michele
was
having
loads
of
fun
and
couldn’t
imagine
not
hanging
out
with
the
youth
group
so
she
decided
to
stay.
Michele
grew
up
in
Rossland
BC,
a
small
west
Kootenay
town.
She
was
active
in
church
life
and
youth
group
‐
both
influenced
her
enormously.
She
moved
to
Kamloops
to
go
to
school
and
just…
stayed.
Now
Michele
is
married
to
Scott,
has
two
Kids,
Maia
and
Sean,
who
both
go
to
youth
group
and
a
dog
and
two
cats.
In
the
other
parts
of
Michele’s
life
she
works
as
the
pro
‐
gram
coordinator
for
the
Kamloops
YMCA
YWCA,
Shelter
Services,
she
loves
to
dance,
plays
games,
has
a
crazy
sense
of
humour,
and
loves
people.
Michele
has
found
a
home
in
the
United
Church
and
is
so
glad
to
have
the
opportunity
to
share
about
God
with
youth
in
our
church
community.
Who
is
this
Michele
anyway?

Walker
,
youth
leader
for

Churches
of

One
way
to
feel
like
you
are
a
part
of
something
great
is
to
invest
in
it;
it
becomes
yours,
you
own
it.
Investing
in
youth
group
happens
in
a
number
of
ways
and
here
are
some
ideas
for
the
youth
and
their
supporters
to
in
‐
vest
in
youth
group
and
raise
some
money
for
fun,
pro
‐
jects
and
to
support
some
‐
thing
outside
of
our
youth
community.
There
are
some
limitations
I
face
as
youth
leader—mainly
the
constraints
of
time
and
space.
As
youth
leader
I
am
on
a
small
con
‐
tract
and
every
month
I
also
volunteer
a
portion
of
my
time
to
running
the
youth
group.
This
means
I
am
maxed
out
for
available
time
to
put
into
organizing
fund
‐
raising
unless
I
take
time
away
from
what
I
currently
do
(not
a
great
option).
So
the
fundraising
efforts
would
come
to
parents
of
the
youth
or
others
who
may
have
talent
and/or
skill
at
organizing.
I
do
have
a
few
ideas
that
are
not
hugely
time
consuming
but
would
continue
to
raise
money
and
some
of
them
fill
a
need
as
well.

pro
‐

space.
