Lazer (Junior Youth)
This is our second year of Friday afternoon
Lazer and it is only getting better. Lazer,
our Junior Youth Group for students in
Years 6, 7 and 8 meets straight after
school in Redeemer Chapel during school
terms. Lazer is 90 minutes of games,
skits, quizzes, and music videos, then 30
minutes of small group time where we
share our highs and lows from the week
and discuss topics that are relevant to our
age group. This year we looked at the
Lord’s Prayer in depth and also explored
the hot topics of relationships in ‘sex and
love’ and ‘war and peace’.
Each term we have fun events like “Lazer
X Factor” and outings such as ice skating
and ten pin bowling. This year we also held
two chapel sleepovers where kids stayed
up late watching DVDs and playing games.
Not all of the kids are from Redeemer; they
also come from Rochedale State School
and Moreton Bay College. The Lazer Leader
team is well trained; it is made up of older
Redeemer students from Years 9, 10, 11
and 12 as well as five Our Saviour Senior
Youth leaders, with Our Saviour staff
member Kerry Groch as the leadership
trainer and coordinator. We are all looking
forward to Lazer in 2012 and thank the
College for the generous use of the Chapel.

‘Unlimited’
Student Leadership
Program
In 2011, the Unlimited leadership program
was run for a selected group of Year 9
students. Together, Redeemer and Our
Saviour applied for a grant from the
Lutheran Church to fund the program. It
aimed to develop the self-esteem, values
and leadership skills of young people,
through values integrated through activity
based learning.
Participants faced various challenges, such
as the ‘toxic swamp’, ‘death grid’, and
‘the human coffee table’. We discussed
deeper issues of character and had fun
playing ‘ninja’. The highlight was the huge
flying fox experience at the final day at
Luther Heights Youth Camp. We enjoyed
the presence of the youth worker and
intern from Our Saviour and the teachers
from Redeemer. Participants grew in
understanding themselves, teamwork and
leadership, and had a lot of fun doing it.
