Pathfinders/CYFA

We have a group of about 22 young people aged between 12 and 22 years of age who meet together on a regular basis to learn more about God, Jesus and the Bible. We are together on a Sunday morning, initially in church with the other members of the congregation, then we continue our teaching session in our local village hall, this gives us more space for games and activities, as well as Bible teaching. Our aim is to share with these young people the importance of placing Jesus at the centre of our lives, and also the importance of daily prayer and daily Bible reading, in regard to our own Christian growth.

Members of our youth group meet for music group rehearsals every Friday evening in church as they are part of the worship group. They play on the second and third Sundays of each month. One member states "I love playing because I really enjoy helping to be part of the worship at church".


Pathfinders.
Pathfinders (11-14's) to play games, and have fun talking and learning about God in many different ways. This is run by Joanne and Bev Reid. 

On a Sunday you meet in Scotby village hall and will spend time learning about god and play games. Then you will go to church for the end of the service.



The group also meets for a games and social evening, usually on a Thursday in the Village Hall. More than 25 attend, to play football on the green outside Centre, then to play indoor games such as, table football, pool, table tennis and Art! Soft drinks, crisps and biscuits are available during the course of the evening.



Camp

In 2011 many of our CYFA group went to the CCYC Camp at Braithwaite. This Camp has been running for over 50 years and almost 300 people are there every year. This year William Parr, and Carla McWilliams (Members of our CYFA group) were Assistant Leaders and others went as 'Campers'.

Mike and Jen continued their work at the Camp they are leaders of.

A number of our group attend the annual Pathfinder camp held at Windermere during the first 10 days in August. This is a time of teaching, fellowship and fun under canvas and those who attend find that the camp is very important for their spiritual growth and development.

Camp is absolutely amazing it is one of the most awesome times I have ever had! During the day we did activities like rock climbing and windsurfing It was ace except leaning back out to abseil down! We met in the evenings and we spent time with our tent groups and learnt more about God together. The meetings were great and the live music was ace. I got a lot closer to God and it has helped me to start actively living my faith.


We go for ten days in August. We get to do activities, such as rock climbing, gorge scrambling, and canoeing. It is a great way to socialize and meet new people. I reckon it is really, really fun.

Pathfinder camp is a good experience and it is good to spend ten days with other Christians the same age as you. Camp was excellent and made me feel more close to God. You get to meet different friends from different places in England and that was good.
