Internship, Faith Explorations Lead Meyrick to Publish in Think Christian
Kate Meyrick 17 is a double major in English and music, and she recently combined her interests in an article posted on Think Christian titled .
The article explores different styles of worship, and how people of different ages react to those styles. In my experience, many middle-aged congregants and pastors feel the need for lights-and-fog worship, while many millennials are less enthused about it, Meyrick wrote.
According to Meyrick, her inspiration for the article began with her transition from leading worship within the 窪做惇蹋厙 community to leading worship in local congregations. The atmosphere of worship in church congregations is a lot different than that of the college, and exploring those nuances has been wonderfully challenging–and sometimes frustrating, she said. It hasreally put me in the headspace I need to be in as the student assistant in the Chaplains office and Campus Ministries Leader, so I hope that it is encouraging to leaders like me of all ages!
Over the summer, Meyrick interned with Think Christian, part of Palos Heights, Ill.-based ReFrame Media, where she learned copy editing and publishing skills. She credited Think Christian editor Josh Larsen 96, with helping her publish the article on Hillsong, as well as on Disneys upcoming live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast.
Along with her studies and work in 窪做惇蹋厙s Chaplains Office, Meyrick maintains a blog,. The blog name comes from a quote by the character Reepicheep in C.S. LewisThe Chronicles of Narnia. He says it when the kings and queens of Narnia arrive at the gates ofAslansCountry, urging them to keep moving forward to claim theirinheritanceat the Garden, she said. For me, it reminds meof my journey as aChristian and toconstantly keep my focus onGods call in my life–to glorify him in everything I do!
