Youth on Fridays
We
meet in the Small Hall from 18h30 to 20h30 on Fridays during the school
term.
Our
focus is on developing our relationships with one another as we relate our
faith to our lives as young people living in South Africa today.
Our
activities include playing getting-to-know-you, non-competitive games;
spending some time catching up (sharing our news) with each other; playing
team games; watching movies and then discussing how they apply to us as
Christian young people; having guest speakers; preparing for involvement
in Sunday church services and discussing topics of concern or interest to
us. We evaluate each term’s activities and then plan for the following
term together.
We
have a planning and coordinating group made up of some members who attend
Youth on Fridays. Their leadership skills are in the process of being
developed. They help facilitate the Friday evening sessions.
Alison Warmback is the Youth on Fridays Coordinator.
If
you are in grades 8-12 and would like to join us, come along on a Friday
evening during the school term and we will welcome you! |

Teen Church/ Youth on Sundays
Youth
on Sundays takes places during the 9h00 service on a Sunday morning. We
are initially in church for the beginning of the service and go out for
our teaching session after the Collect/before the readings and return at
the Peace for The Communion. We participate in Sunday services on a
regular basis by being readers, leading the prayers, play acting, playing
the guitar and as altar servers.
During the Youth on Sundays sessions we are using the South African
National Sunday Schools Association iVangeli Curriculum - bible readings
and interesting topics that we discuss in an interactive and participatory
way.
