Our Youth
Hi from the youth group
The Parishes of English Martyrs, Didcot and St
John’s, Wallingford have a thriving joint Youth
Group which was set up by Phyllis Green in 2007 to
encourage and inspire young members of both Parishes
over the age of 10 to take an active interest in
their Church.
The team of youth leaders are all CRB checked and
plan and run monthly activities with the help of the
youth group members’ input. These are generally run
at St John’s, Wallingford on the fourth Friday of
the month between 7pm and 9pm. Previous activities
have included:
- First aid course
- Glass etching and craft
- A visit from a Police Community Support
Officer to talk about policing in the community
- Pizza, bowling and quiz night
- A visit from a team at Didcot Baptist Church
who gave a talk on a building project in South
America
- Murder mystery night
- Treasure hunt
- Weekend away with families in 2008 at the
Celebrate Conference in Bristol
- Silly games evening
Refreshments are provided most evenings and the
latest Sunday Gospel readings are discussed and
prayers said.
The latest meeting of the Youth
Group was a Silly Games and Pizza Evening.
Great fun was had by all.
