GLOW! : HOLMESFIELD YOUTH CLUB

I couldn’t write last month because I was away with some of our young people at YouthFest in Dronfield on a two-night sleepover and crazy shenanigans. A group of youth leaders from across the churches in the area host up to 50 young people for fun and to hear a bit about who Jesus is. Watch this space for details of next year’s event!

The leaders of Glow! are really proud of Chloe who went away to complete the Rotary Young Leaders Award in February. Here she is having given a presentation to Rotary Dronfield members earlier this month. RYLA will be looking to sponsor another young person from our area next year, so do let me know if your young person (aged 15+) is interested. We need newspapers and wool/yarn ends for crafts if you have any you’d like to donate? I’m happy to come and get them from you.

Extreme Wheels will be in the area on 3rd April 6.00-8.00pm in Sindelfingen Park, 6th April in Coal Aston Park, 13th April Coal Aston Park and Sindelfingen Park both 6.008.00pm. All activities are FREE and they’ll have the bigger equipment with them than they had with us indoors.

Glow! youth club is for all local young people in school years 7-13, is free to join in and meets Mondays 7.00-8.30pm at St Swithins church hall during term time. Further information from Sarah Webb 0792 958 2233.
