Youth
IntroductionAs part of our commitment to young people we employ a full time Youth Work Leader - Dima Lutsenko. His role is to oversee the youth work providing stategy, guidance and supporting the youth leaders. Pathfinders (school years 7 to 9)Pathfinders meet during the 10:30am Sunday service. Sessions consist of games, activities, Bible study and prayer. One Sunday a month is used for sharing and prayer where we remember those in need and pray for them. Pathfinder sessions are high energy and saturated with fun. Previous study topics have included death, an overview of the Bible, and the recent Lift the Label campaign looking at trade justice, debt and exploitation. We also have a thriving midweek "homegroup" on Tuesday evenings 7pm, giving us more time to look at the Bible and how it applies to our lives. Re:fillRe:fill meets during the 10:30am Sunday service and is aimed at the over 14's, who are themselves involved in some way (ie leading egde discussion groups, helping with the under 11's work on a Sunday morning, doing SongPro etc) We pray together and discuss a different subject each time.The idea is to feed those who themselves are giving out themselves. At the end of the session we join the service again and take communion. We also arrange social get togethers. T.G.I.F. Youth Club
