Who are we?

We are the youth group of Beeston Parish Church.
Anyone in School Year 6 to Year 13 is welcome to join us.

Where?

We usually meet in the Parish Church of Saint John the Baptist, Beeston.  

When?

Wednesdays 7.15 - 8.45pm (during school terms) and in church on Sunday mornings (1st Sundays doing the prayers and readings, other Sundays in the meeting room for doughnuts and discussion)

What do we do?

Club nights are a mixture of silly games and time spent learning new skills such as drama and baking. We also have lots of fun on trips such as ice-skating, bowling, cinema and laser quest.
Sunday sessions are for exploring our faith in a relaxed atmosphere where no questions are too basic or too controversial.
This year we are raising money for Rainbows Children's Hospice and Practical Action (an overseas charity) by selling the results of our baking, serving refreshments and selling our homemade Christmas decorations. We have produced two dramas in place of a sermon as well as doing prayers and readings.
For the past four years during August Bank Holiday weekend, we have camped at Cheltenham Racecourse for the Greenbelt Music and Drama Festival.

Our faith grows together, with both young people and leaders contributing to our journey, and we have a lot of fun along the way. If you would like to join us (member or leader) please contact one of us to find out about our next meeting.
