The programme is based on learning through fun-filled activities, and there is a Christian element to the content of each session. Parents stay with the children during the sessions which last about two hours. The number of children per session is limited to 28.
Nurture Group (S1 – S6): 4pm
The Nurture Group is the equivalent of a housegroup for young people. It is informal and is aimed at anyone in the Youth Fellowship and their friends who want to meet for a time of prayer and Bible study.
The informal format and setting are intended to encourage participation, and the meetings provide opportunities for young people to apply God’s Word to their lives and to discuss and pray about situations which arise in school and beyond.
Open Circle (3rd Thursday of the month): 12.30pm
This group runs from September – June and is open to all who would like to join together for a time of friendship, faith and fun. Our monthly programme offers a variety of speakers and activities in addition to the light lunch we share together.
Our hope is that through time to listen and be listened to, all will feel welcomed and valued. As we deepen relationships with one another, we want to encourage all in their faith walk too.
