What does a youth worker do on their day off?

An interesting question that gets asked every now and again, and well the answer is simply, I meet up with some of my friends, hang out and relax.

As ever the youth work continues with great success, and that is thanks to you who come along. We have had a great time with Richard, teaching us sign language and also last week Capoeira with Parana, and this is just the start of our summer programme. The CY sessions are also going well with great discussion and debate, the food is even getting rave reviews!

We are as ever trying to provide activities that you are interested in. I am trying to set up a group that can become a steering council, meeting fairly regularly to help in achieving continued outstanding activities that will encompass all young people of the village and beyond.

Anyway, I leave you with a few photo's of my friends and me!

See you at the next Event. Jon

Too Much Choice?

I'm going to have to start with some sad news. My followers haven't increased anymore, after a serge of 2 over the past month, the mass induction has stopped, and I think I am going to have to abandon the rock god status!

Meanwhile back in reality what is happening on the youth work front? As the title suggests we have so much going on at the moment, there is a lot of info and hopefully something for everyone.

PCSO Mike 7447, and the local beat team are putting together some hockey training sessions for the young people of Bathampton with a hockey Olympian. if you are interested contact me to get their details.

Bathampton Cricket Club are looking for new young members to join them, if you are interested again contact me for further details.

I have volunteered our services to the local parish council to paint the tubs and benches in the park, and am looking for a good number of keen helpers to be those volunteers with me to make a work party.

I am wanting your help in running the youth activities at St. Nicholas church. I would like to set up a working group that could give advise to shape the future here.

K-OS continues on Wednesdays in term time. Pathfinders also continues every Sunday Morning at the church at 10:30am (except 1st Sunday of the month). Pathfinders is for anyone over 11 who is interested in God and is wanting to live as a Christian. We also have YF (Youth Fellowship) that meet on Sunday nights at the Curate's house, this is for anyone School year 9 and above who are wanting to do Bible study.
