421 YOUTH GROUP
WINTER & SPRING TERM 2025
The 421 Youth Group is for 11-18 year olds (Year 7 – Year 11) and meets on Friday Evenings during term time, 7:30 – 9:00pm in the John Owen Barn (Church Road, Fordham, CO6 3NL). The term begins on Friday 10th January 2025. Each week’s programme consists of fun and games (table games and team games), craft, tuck shop and Bible teaching followed by discussion and prayer. For the Bible focus, we break into age related groups. If you haven’t been before, you will be very welcome. It’s a great way to spend time with old friends or to make new ones. We look forward to seeing you.
CHILDREN FROM FORDHAM & HOLY TRINITY EIGHT ASH GREEN PRIMARY SCHOOLS
We particularly welcome children who have attended the two primary schools in our parish who are now at secondary school. 421 provides a weekly event where you can grow in your understanding of the Bible, find out about following Jesus and spend time with friends from your old school.
HOW TO JOIN IN Your parent or guardian will need to complete a registration form for you. This gives permission for you to attend and will be given to you on the first week that you attend. Please give it to your parent/guardian to complete and bring it back the next time you come.
INFO FOR PARENTS The registration form which needs to be completed annually (normally at the beginning of the autumn term) covers attendance at the 421 Youth Group, All Saints Sunday Club and After School Clubs.
