It’s National Volunteer Week and we want to spotlight the people who make KCC conventions possible! In this Volunteer story, Verity shares her highlights of growing up in the Katoomba Easter Convention (KEC) Kid’s Program and the impact that her volunteer leaders have had on her faith and life. We thank God that her love for KEC has empowered her to serve in the KEC Junior High program!  “I think it is amazing that we can form genuine connections [at KEC] with likeminded people who also find joy and hope in Christ." 1. What was it like growing up attending Katoomba Easter Convention? I started coming to Katoomba Easter Convention (KEC) because that is what my family always did every year since I was born. The year 2020 during COVID was my first year not going to Katoomba for Easter! KEC has been a great time for my family to get away from the challenges and distractions of life and spend time together reflecting on God and what he has done for us through his Son Jesus. We all love it! 2. What was your favourite part about the KEC Kid’s Program? My favourite part of attending the KEC Kid’s Program has definitely been the building of great friendships over the years. It is crazy that I have made so many lasting and deep friendships. Even though I only see these people once a year at KEC, the friendship is so natural, and we just pick up where we left off. I think it is amazing that we can form genuine connections with likeminded people who also find joy and hope in Christ, and that we get to encourage and support one another to live out our faith! 3. How has KEC impacted you as a Christian? KEC is a constant reminder each year to humbly come before God and recognise what he has done for us. So often as a Christian we can take for granted the things God has blessed us with, such as having Christian parents who love and support me, or simply the knowledge of the gospel message. As a Christian, it is easy to become complacent and forget the gravity of God’s grace—something we are all in desperate need of. Coming together at KEC is a great reminder that Easter isn’t about chocolate or holidays, rather it is a time to reflect on Jesus’ death and resurrection and how that should shape our daily lives. For me, KEC has been a valuable place and time to refocus on what is important through helpful bible talks and discussions with leaders who give up their time to faithfully serve and teach from God’s word. The way they live out their faith and demonstrate what it means to live godly and faithful lives has also had a significant impact on me. Join KCC's Volunteer Family! Katoomba Easter Convention Volunteer KCC events run and rely on the power of volunteers—from our convention committees to our ushers on the day, each and every volunteer helps to facilitate God's Word preached from the platform.
