Ste-Genny's
Youth GroupWho's Invited?
Anyone
between 11 and 25 years
of
age.
We have
two groups:
FOCUS
for
ages 11-16
and
LIGHT
for ages 17-25.
What Do We Do?
Each
of the groups mentioned
above (FOCUS & LIGHT) participates in fun activities throughout
the
year. Some of these activities are joined, while others are for a
specific age group. These fun activities include laser quest, bowling,
pumpkin picking, sleepovers, alternative worship services, movie
nights, dramatic productions, arts n’ crafts nights,
painting, music
nights, etc…
We support our church by aiding other groups of our church with their
events: Community's Coffeehouse and various
Ste-Genny's
Fund-raisers. We also have done fund-raising for outside
organizations. We sponsored the placement of a collection box in
the
church hall to
collect donations (toiletries, clothing, etc.) for Dans
La Rue. We also organized some events for the
whole
congregation, like "Walking in His Footsteps", and occasionally led in
Sunday worship.
We have weekly discussion groups (Sunday mornings) related to the
scripture readings of the week. We lead one worship service in June,
and do other in-service activities during the year for special events
and/or holidays.
We have recently started doing joint activities with several other
churches (from various denominations) throughout the West-Island. These
activities include: an evening of improv, a survivor day challenge, a
body maze, a scavenger hunt, a mystery night, bowling and so much more
to come! In April 2008 we visited a Sikh temple. Several youth have spent a night
working on the
Dans La Rue bus (The Van) to serve and
assist youth living on the street.
Everyone is welcome. Bring a few friends. The possibilities are endless
as we are always open to suggestions!
Welcome
We
have
many activities planned for the coming months. If you have a talent or
a story that you would like to share with our young people, please see
Lisa. We welcome your ideas!!!
When and Where Do We Meet?
On Sunday mornings we group
discussions, usually about the scripture lessons of that day. We start
by attending the Sunday worship service and leave at the
same time that the younger kids leave for Sunday School. We also
meet in the Church
Hall about twice a
month on Saturday evenings, one evening for LIGHT, another for FOCUS.
For certain activities, however, we get together as one big group.
We further have a number of activities jointly with youth groups from
other churches in the neighbourhood. Below
is our schedule of
activities.
Refreshments will be available at a low cost (proceeds go to the youth group)!
