Young and Sensible - YAS
The aim of YAS is to enable the young people of all ages, to use their gifts in a positive way to bring the message of Christ to others of their own age and to all other groups. This can only be achieved if the young people are given positive direction and guidance by those who are guided by the Holy Spirit, and have a genuine desire to see a reversal of the negative publicity about young people within this society.
It is believed that the church has an important role to play in ensuring that our young people remain focused, committed, confident, bold in the things of God, God fearing, and loving people.
The Youth will be involved in the activities already listed there such as participation in church services, street work, drama, dance, singing, and
community work.
Parents who wish their children to participate are invited to complete a form granting permission for their children to participate in this work. According to the Child Protection Act 1998, it is a legal requirement that the church processes criminal record of all adults assisting with this work.
* Youth Meetings in 2010: From 7:30pm
Thursday 3 June and every other week thereafter
YAS REMAIN STRONG!
We must congratulate our young people for their enthusiasm for and contribution to God's work at East Ham Baptist Church. As a church, we all have a responsibility to encourage and support them alongside their carers. The youth express their thanks as you do this so well as a church.
Several activities are planned for the summer to include: a weekend camp in August, BBQ's, picnics and Youth breakfast!
As the church is already aware, our youth are the reigning champions of a local gospel quiz and they will be battling to keep the title on 21st August 2010. They need your support.
Please pray for those who are sitting or have SAT exams that God will grant them his favour.
We give God praise for a young teenager who has recently asked Jesus to come into her life. She is enthusiastic and is excited about learning who God is and how she can live a holy life for him.
Please pray for as our young people are looking forward to exciting things ahead! The dates for meetings continue on alternate Thusdays.
