[contact Youth Worker] “Pathfinders” 10-11.15AM Sunday This is the flagship of the Youth Work and our main Bible study programme. We gather with the whole Church at 10Am and then begin the teaching programme at about 10.15 in the Annexe. We have a varied curriculum which is aimed so that 11-14 year olds can learn about Jesus from the Bible and know what it means to follow Him. Each term there is an opportunity to respond to the claims of Jesus and put your trust in him. We explore the Bible together in a variety of ways and seek to put our faith in Jesus into practice through various projects. [contact Youth Worker] Socials and trips Throughout the year we go on a number of trips and meet up about once per month to develop friendships and enjoy one another’s company. We have recently been bowling, had a film night, a sleepover, a pool party and a fireworks evening on October 30 th(All Hallows Eve). We have a film night lined up to go and see the new Narnia film [link to website: Narnia.com] and a bonfire night and various other trips in the new year. We welcome all Pathfinders and their friends on these trips and usually have an attendance of around 25-30. Further details of upcoming events to be posted soon. Our main weekend away is to the Oakes Holiday Centre in Sheffield, where we have a fantastic time. Places are always in short supply to this trip and booking early is advisable. A video is available to view from the most recent weekend away, and plans are in place to book for 2006.
