Abide

The young people at CRBC came back from Newday hungry for more time together worshipping God and dwelling in His presence. Abide was what came from this hunger - a stripped back time of worship and prayer in the youth room run by the youth but open to anyone. Straight after our Checkpoint group, it is simply a space to offer our praise to God, and be open to the Holy Spirit.
