Coming up next week...  Helloooo...As it looks like the country is starting to open up a little bit more, we encourage all members of the youth and anybody else to keep following the guidelines in place by the government. The guidance for the opening of places of worship have changed and there are conversations taking place about how this might be able to be done in a safe way. As for now, it is business as lockdown normal for the youth, find out what's going on this week below... Cell Groups Cell groups are beginning to come to the end of the devotional sessions. Some cells will be looking at Anna, whilst others will be looking at Paul.

Coming up next week...  Hello, this week we are business as usual, or as usual as it can be during lockdown. We have cell groups and to be honest, that is about it. We are thinking of some new things to do, and hopefully we will have them soon... Find out what's going on this week below... Cell Groups Cell groups last week were based around racism, discussing the current national and worldwide situation and talking about what a christian response might be. It was great to have such mature and honest conversations with people.  This week we are going back to the devotional sessions, which we hope you are enjoying.  Friday Pathfinders  Will be canceled until further notice... however both Olly and I will be available to chat or give you creative one player game ideas using the contact details below!! Genuinely do get in touch on a Friday night if you are bored... we probably will be too.  CYFA CYFA was great this week.

We are still here, planning new material for you guys, writing plans and coming up with (hopefully) some fun and engaging stuff for you to get stuck into.  Cell Groups Cell groups are back this week. Different groups will be up to different points through the devotional plans but we are continuing with that this week. Please let us know how you have found the devotionals, it is great to have feedback both good and bad on how you are finding things, so that we can make it even better!
