CYA Faith Small Group

Group Divisions

The CYA faith small groups are divided into three categories: Couples Group (for married couples), 成枝 Group (working adults aged 40 and above), and 青枝 (working young adults aged 25-40). If you are interested in joining any of these groups, you can reach out to the respective group members for further information and follow-up.

Christian Life Wheel

The CYA faith small groups primarily follow the framework of the "Christian Life Wheel" as a guide for group activities. With Jesus Christ at the center, the groups focus on Scripture, prayer, nurturing, group sharing, and evangelization. This holistic approach aims to facilitate the members' overall growth and development in their faith journey.

Past Activities

Activity review

CYA Group Brainstorming Day (9/2022)

The CYA Group held its annual brainstorming day at the Holiday Inn hotel in Sheung Wan, where the group planned its goals and activities for the coming year.

Representatives from the CYA Working Youth Faith Community, CYA Faith Community of Adults, and Couple's Group, as well as NGO committee members and staff, attended the event. Everyone actively shared their ideas on the ministries they wished to prioritize in the upcoming year. After discussions, discipleship training and promoting the development of small groups emerged as top priorities. There was also a shared desire to strengthen serving college students.

Shine Movie Charity Premiere (8/2022)

The charity premiere of "Shine Movie" was successfully held on August 21st, and we are truly grateful for the overwhelming response. Over three hundred participants attended the event, and everyone enthusiastically joined in the gathering. We were especially delighted to have the presence and support of several Sisters of the Sacred Heart.

The event went smoothly, and many participants expressed their appreciation for the well-planned itinerary. The program included the screening of Shine Movie, friendly sharing sessions, and a marketplace, providing a delightful experience for all attendees.

Through this event, participants had the opportunity to enjoy Shine Movie and learn more about the goals and service ministries of CYA. We are particularly grateful to the organizing committee, as well as the dedicated CYA staff and members from the CYA Working Youth Faith Community, CYA Faith Community of Adults, and Couples Group, who worked tirelessly together to make this event a success.

Aim

The faith community plays an indispensable role in the spiritual lives of the faithful. Many young working adults, after entering the workforce, find themselves busy with work and may have a more relaxed approach to their spiritual life. Some may even become lax in attending Sunday Mass, which unfortunately leads to the loss of many young working adults from the Church. CYA is fervently committed to promoting the development of faith small groups for young adults. We aim to create an environment where young people can share and journey together in their faith, collectively growing in spirituality and faith.

CYA Working Youth Faith Community Gathering (10/2022)

During the first gathering of 2022-2023, several new members joined CYA Working Youth Faith Community. They were active participants in previous CYA evangelization gatherings and were eager to have their own faith small group. They expressed their willingness to actively participate in the group's gatherings in the coming year.

Flower Arrangement Workshop (5/2022)

As Mother's Day was approaching in mid-May, one of the CYA Working Youth Faith Community members suggested organizing a flower arrangement workshop as a way to show appreciation to their mothers. Consequently, the first gathering of the female CYA Working Youth Faith Community members took the form of a workshop.

Several friendly members also attended the event, making it lively and enjoyable. Many members had their first experience with flower arrangement, and everyone was fully engaged, creating unique and personal floral arrangements.

The event was organized by the members and received positive feedback, allowing each member to showcase their talents. It encouraged members to actively utilize their skills as tools for evangelization in the future.

青枝 Gathering (8-9/2021)

The first gathering of the year for the youth faith small group (青枝) focused on planning for the coming year. Led by the group leaders, we discussed and received suggestions from everyone regarding the theme of next year's evangelization activities, which will revolve around personal growth and family-related topics.

During our regular gatherings, we engage in various activities such as getting to know one another, sharing from the Bible, understanding the goals and objectives of the youth faith small group, and discussing the annual activities. We also have EBS (Evangelization Bible Study) sessions, led by experienced members of CYA. After these sessions, the group members expressed that they found the Bible study to be very beneficial and insightful.

Activity review

CYA Faith Community of Adults Group Meeting

The CYA Faith Community of Adults holds two member gatherings every month, each with a different theme for sharing, to deepen the members' faith within the group.

Among the members, there are occasional small group meetings where they arrange to meet and share with each other, deepening their relationships and journeying together in faith.

Couples Group Meeting

The Couples Group holds regular gatherings where different topics are shared, allowing couples to deepen their faith within the group.

It is heartening to have the children of some members participate as well. Through mutual sharing, they are able to deepen their understanding and interest in faith, learning and growing together in the group.
