Internship, Faith Explorations Lead Meyrick to Publish in Think Christian
Kate Meyrick 鈥�17 is a double major in English and music, and she recently combined her interests in an article posted on Think Christian titled 鈥�.鈥�
The article explores different styles of worship, and how people of different ages react to those styles. 鈥淚n my experience, many middle-aged congregants and pastors feel the need for lights-and-fog worship, while many millennials are less enthused about it,鈥� Meyrick wrote.
According to Meyrick, her inspiration for the article began with her transition from leading worship within the 91精选 community to leading worship in local congregations. 鈥淭he 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,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t has聽really put me in the headspace I need to be in as the student assistant in the Chaplain鈥檚 office and Campus Ministries Leader, so I hope that it is encouraging to leaders like me of all ages!鈥�
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 鈥�96, with helping her publish the article on Hillsong, as well as on Disney鈥檚 upcoming live-action remake of 鈥淏eauty and the Beast.鈥�
Along with her studies and work in 91精选鈥檚 Chaplain鈥檚 Office, Meyrick maintains a blog,聽鈥�.鈥� The blog name comes from a quote by the character Reepicheep in C.S. Lewis鈥櫬犫�漈he Chronicles of Narnia.鈥� 鈥淗e says it when the kings and queens of Narnia arrive at the gates of聽Aslan鈥檚聽Country, urging them to keep moving forward to claim their聽inheritance聽at the Garden,鈥� she said. 鈥淔or me, it reminds me聽of my journey as a聽Christian and to聽constantly keep my focus on聽God鈥檚 call in my life–to glorify him in everything I do!鈥�
