Frontline Youthwork Update May2023

  •   Radiate
  • There has been a resurgence of high numbers with the Wednesday Groups, with high numbers last week, and 20+ regularly attending this group.  A new 10 week course of talks on ‘The life of Jesus’ through from miracles and parables to Jesus death and resurrection has just started.  There have been lots of deep questions from the p5/6s such as ‘Why did Jesus have to die?’, ‘What happens if we don’t trust Him?’ and ‘How does He know about us when He lived so long ago?’
  • Illuminate
  • There has been steady numbers of young people, some weeks they listen well, others not so well.
  • Five-a-Side Schools Football
  • There has been more football sessions on Thursdays now that the better weather has arrived and the sessions have gone very well.
  • SU at Riverbank Primary
  • There have been about 20-35/40 across the two sessions.  We have had extra help from a lady from Donside Community Church. The gospel is shared with the kids and again lots of questions have been asked i.e. ‘Why did sin come into the world?’ and ‘Why does bad stuff happen?’·     

 Friday Night Youth Drop-in

  • Takes place every 2nd week, and numbers attending are recovering from the low numbers over the winter months.  We now have a small café at Drop-in where soft drinks and cake are available for a small cost.Last time a group of Polish boys came in quite late but stayed for ages chatting with the Drop-in team.
  • SU at Northfield Academy
  • Still quite steady with mostly teenage boys attending and a Bible slot has recently been introduced. One of the leaders, has been formatting a wee talk as some of the YFC and SU material is still a bit too advanced for this group at the moment.
  • Cage
  • The cage will operate alternate weeks to the Friday night dropin , but volunteers are needed to help on the night.
  • Mission Week
  • More than half the places at Kid’s Club have been filled already, with another 8-10 weeks left to register.  This is very encouraging
