The St Faith’s Youth Club was
launched on 9th January 2005 and is proving to be a
great success. We get an average of between 15 and 20
children between the ages of 9 and 14. Most are part of
the congregation but we are always delighted to get some
children from outside St Faith’s.
The children named the club the
‘Young Believers’. A little prescriptive
you may think but its not putting anyone off and we
think it quite fetching.
While our new club may lag a
little in order, organisation and structure, it makes up
for it in fun, freedom of expression and creativity.
The children unwind and get a chance to express
themselves. And we play games that are so fresh; they
almost seem to have been invented there and then.
That’s because they are. Not really. Well maybe a
little.
We are developing the activities
as we move on and are planning to include plenty of new
features including sailing and team sports. And while
there hasn’t been a formal programme of religious based
activities, we do try to include discussion and debate
with the support of our clergy.
The club meets every second
Sunday from
6 to 7.30pm in the St. Faith's Church
Hall in The Pallant. For information contact, Martin
