Youth Fellowship Planning Report

 

 

 

 

 

The Youth Fellowship Planning Group met following the opening meeting of the Junior Youth Fellowship on Sunday 30th. September.

After a great deal of discussion a draft programme for the month of October was agreed. The Junior Youth Fellowship will meet each Sunday evening in the Church Hall from 6 to 7 p.m. Each evening will start with a story on a Bible theme told by Dane with a period of discussion to follow; there will then be a choice of either games (prepared and provided by Janine and Caroline) or watching more of the video made by Jim at last year's Newshounds event. The evening will end with a short epilogue using singing (and helped, it is hoped, by Tom on guitar and accordion).

The Senior Youth Fellowship will meet following the Junior Youth Fellowship from 7.30 p.m. Each evening of October will begin with an 'Any Questions' with questions contributed by the members. There will be a team of four to answer the questions. For the first fortnight, three of the team members will be made up from the helpers at the group with one 'outside' guest. At the end of twenty minutes the guest will be interviewed and will have the opportunity of speaking about his or her work, faith and interests. It is hoped that the guest for the first week will be Tom. It was agreed that the question master will be Dane and the panel for the first week would be Jim, Jamie and Caroline. For the next week Janine and Caroline will prepare a list of suitable books, films, TV programmes etc. for a team game of 'Give us a Clue' and the evening will be rounded off with a short epilogue led by Jamie. By week three it is hoped that members of the Youth Fellowship will start to be represented on the panel. It was agreed that there would be a time of evaluation and replanning after four weeks.
