Youth Learning To Grow Food

WHEELscape

When deciding upon a new name for the youth ministry, it was clear that the name would have to have relevance beyond the words themselves. What is meant by this is that the name chosen would have to satisfy two goals: describe the intentions of youth ministry at Lincoln Memorial; and describe ministry as a whole. In order to achieve this a combination of two words was needed – wheel and scape.

A wheel is “any machine, apparatus, instrument, etc., shaped like this or having a circular frame, disk, or revolving drum as an essential feature”(Dictionary.com). However, within a biblical context, in this case, wheel refers to a potter’s wheel on which clay is formed and shapened. There are many references in the Bible to the potter’s wheel and/or clay (Isaiah 29:16; 64:8; Jer. 18:1-6; Jb 33: 6; etc.). Christians are being molded into the image of Christ, transformed (2 Co. 4:2 and Rom. 8:29). The second part of the word, scape, is taken from landscape. In contrast, however, where landscape is “a section or expanse of rural scenery that can be seen from a single viewpoint” (Dictionary.com) – a place; scape in WHEELscape is a place where something is formed. For our purposes, that something is someone, more specifically youth. Therefore, WHEELscape is a place where youth are formed on the potter’s wheel. The potter being God, and the wheel being the teaching, hearing, and doing of the Word with all that our youth have to offer.

To conclude, “Let no one despise your youth [Timothy], but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity” (NRSV 1 Timothy 4:12). Our youth are not only an integral part of our Lincoln Memorial Family but of the body of Christ. By teaching them what it is to have faith and ways to express that faith, they will become better witnesses for our risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The purpose of this ministry is to strengthen the faith journey of the women of Lincoln and their guests. This is accomplished through bible and book study, prayer and being of assistance to each other.

We meet every Saturday morning at 9 – 11 am. Annually we support A New Way of Living as well as other charities and areas of need. We continue to pray for and support our church, its ministers and ministries.
