Introducing Genevieve....
Many of you know her, but this summer we are happy to welcome her on staff to fill our youth position. What a great thing!! She will be doing a ton of organizing, developing and serving. Get to know her a little by reading on.....
Well, to start off my name is Genevieve Amy Pylypiw. I was born thirty-one years ago on a Good Friday afternoon on the 24th of March. I am a daughter of David and Jacqui, the eldest of my brother and sister and I have owned three cars since I was 20. So, now you know my basic stats I can give you the good stuff and tell you a bit about who I am.
I spent the first fifteen years of my life going to church and then left for ten years on my own ventures. Thankfully God was pursuing me and called me back when I was twenty-six. I was almost immediately drawn to worship and soon thereafter found myself being stretched and challenged to grow as a worship leader.
This past year I was at St. Stephen University in New Brunswick and have since received a diploma in The Institute of Contemporary and Emerging Worship Studies. I will be returning at the end of August to begin working on a degree in psychology. SSU has been an amazing place for me to grow and develop personally. I've been watching God open doors in areas I thought were walls of concrete, so I am excited to continue the process. It's definitely an expensive journey, but undoubtedly worth it.
About a year before I left for university I began leading worship for our youth. The more time I spent with them the more I realized I really care about them and want to be apart of these important years of their lives. So, it made me very happy to accept the summer youth-intern position with the church. I am excited to have this opportunity to join a team who are working to create a place where our youth feel they belong and have value within our community. God has great plans for our youth as a group and as individuals. My hope is that as a team we can encourage growth in our teenagers by actively engaging in hearing God's voice, as we support and guide them in understanding and knowing His love for each one of them.
Some Random Facts:
My worst subject in high school was math - I hated it.
My favourite movie is Moulin Rouge - nothing beats Ewan McGregor singing!
My favourite thing to wear is funky jewelry.
My life scripture verse is Isaiah 43:1-7 (an answer to prayer given through a good friend at our first youth retreat)
Two of my pet peeves are drivers who randomly hit their brakes - even when there is no one in front of them AND when drivers don't signal - especially on the highway - it's all about communication people!!
I take a size 9 shoe
One of my favourite authors is Don Miller
My favourite Nintendo game was the first Mario - Duck Hunt comes as a close second
I love to watch clouds and one of my new obsessions is to take pictures of them.
Coffee: 1 MILK, 1 sugar - never ever cream
