What are we about?Our young people are an important part of our church. Our aim is to help every young person on a journey of discovery, to explore and respond to God's word and to grow in his or her relationship with Jesus. This will be in the context of a safe and friendly environment and presented in a fun way, and will be relevant to their life now. |
GroupsGroups are split broadly into age bands.
We are flexible in applying this - for example, to sustain friendships
or to split up members of the same family (if that is appropriate!!). J Team consists of... Youth Groups consist of ... |

Bubbles is co-ordinated by Julie Court. The J Team has 3 leaders - Judith Crompton, Suzanne Tun Pe (Splash!) and Su Tomes (Xstream). Julian Barker runs Incredibles, and Heidi Roberts and Neil Scott run Thirst.
... includes parents, teenagers, and grandparents for supporting sessions. In fact, anyone is welcome who likes children and is prepared to share their faith with them. They 'muck in' and help glue, stick, draw, keep order (!) and be friends with the young people.

What do we do?The Bubbles & J Team groups follow the Childrens Ministry programme. This uses 6 week sessions exploring various themes, which are tailored to the different age groups. For example, in Bubbles, a session about Jesus’ early life would look his childhood and what he did. Splash! might explore families , comparing Jesus’ family with their own. Xstream group would develop this story further by looking at how they could learn and grow like Jesus did. Incredibles is still more challenging to lifestyle and has strong links to young peoples' issues. |

The morning activities start with a fun introduction, 'Switch On' – an attention grabbing activity like games or art work; we may have a song and talk time about the theme; then we split into groups for the Bible story and ‘Building’and ‘Back Up’–activities for learning, response and application to everyday lives. All group members are given magazines to take home.
To find out more about what they do in their sessions, please go and have a look at the Incredibles and Thirst pages !
There is no charge for Sunday morning sessions. We do, however, support the Tear Fund 'Children at Risk' programme with our weekly collections, and special activities such as coffee mornings. Any parent or carer is very welcome to talk to a leader about the material and content of any session- or come along and see for yourself! All groups do social stuff – programmes are generally produced at the beginning of term.

What do YOU do now?Why not select the group most appropriate for your child and bring them along? Stay if you (or your child) would prefer this. Or talk to one of the leaders, particularly if you want to help with the youth work – telephone numbers are given at the end of this leaflet. You will be asked to fill in a permission form which gives us contact details and essential health information. You can find a display of typical material at the back of the church. |
