Transformed Youth Group (Yr 7-9)

Hey all, Welcome to Youth Together, this is a great group where we have all ages from Year 7 to Year 13. This is a time in the week where we can have some together, be social in games, eat food together, worship, discuss and look at God's Word. In these sessions we look to encourage and build one another up by sometimes having some of the older ones take the lead on certain activities. This happens every Thursday in term time from 6:45 to 8:15 pm. Every half term we have a social, switching between off-site socials (like going bowling) and on-site ones (like games evenings). Come along and join us, we would love to meet you. If you have any questions, please
