YOUTH GROUPS
 




Never been to Youth Group before, not sure what to expect? Hey, we don't always know what to expect either! We reckon the best way to find out what's happening is to come along and get to know us.

We have a number of groups going on for youth:





FRIDAY YOUTH GROUPS

YOUTH GROUP CAMP - January 2013

Our annual youth group camp will be on again from January 18-21! It is looking very exciting, and we'd love to see anyone from school years 7-13 come along. Details in the form below, please be in touch for more info or with any questions.

REGULAR YOUTH ACTIVITIESAngels (Years 7-9):

Where- Church hall unless told otherwise

When - Fridays 7.00pm-8.45pm

B.A.I.T. (Years 10-13):

Where - Gather in the Church hall (unless told otherwise)

When - Fridays 8.15pm-10.00pm

What - Both youth groups are a place for getting to know Jesus and each other better, for fun, friends, love and truth. .
Our youth groups are centred on Jesus and are serious about him, and we are open to any and all to come and join us, and our youth groups are a place where any and every question is always welcome. You don't have to know or follow anything about the Bible or Christianity to come. 

We hang out, play games, read and talk about the Bible, pray and try to look after each other.
Our two groups share supper from 8:15-8:45.

THIS TERM  - for term 2 2013 we are seeing the return of our popular 'Awkward Questions' series - where we wrestle together with the questions our youth have been asking this year. Here's the flier:


We have regular socials, camps and holiday "get togethers". If you have any ideas or questions please let us know.


SUNDAYS @ 10:30

During our church's 'lifestreams'10 service at 10:30, our young people are part of our service. Afterwards, they have a get together in tthe youth room to get to know each other, have some food, and reflect a bit on what they have been hearing.:
 


YOUNG ADULTS

ANTIOCH

On Sunday nights at 7pm in the church hall we meet together to sing God's praises, hear from Scripture and grow in Jesus, pray together and have time together over supper. This is Antioch, a contemporary Anglican service which is aimed at young adults, but open to anyone. Come with your questions, come with your burdens, come with your expectations (whether low or high), come as you are, but come expecting to engage with God and his people as we meet together and encourage one another.

Term 3 2012 we are staring off with a short series on Stewardship from 2 Corinthians - part of St Barnabas' wider Stewardship Programme - thinking about how we can serve God with all we have.
After that we are moving on to a series called Questions and Issues - where we address questions and Issues people have in relation to Jesus and what he means for us. We looked at some last year, and are keen to sink our teeth into some more this term! (any ideas for Questions and Issues, please email Chris) .

TUESDAY SPACE

Sometimes we just want to dig deeper, don't we? That's something we encourage at St Barnabas and that is why Tuesday Space is the place for you...come along to explore the Bible and what it means for us to follow Jesus today.

Our Tuesday Space program is linked in with the wider Christchurch Anglican Young Adults movement, the Society of Salt and Light. This means once a month, on the first Tuesday, we get together with young adults from Anglican churches around Christchurch at the Addington Coffee Co-op to hear from Scripture and engage it in different ways.
