Families and Young People
Over the last couple of years as we have come out of the pandemic there have been some exciting things happening to connect with families and young people. Fran Couper has done a great job of starting up playgroups and building relationships with lots of parents. More recently a team have started the Family Cinema Club up again and that too is going well and providing a great chance each month to connect with lots of new families. With Fran stepping down, as she begins her new job at a nursery, it has given us the opportunity to look at what we have been providing for families and ask God what is next for families and young people.
On the back of this process, a proposal went to PCC last week to approve the creation of a new role: Families and Young People Coordinator (voluntary). The proposal was welcomed and accepted by the PCC and Jenni Middleton is going to be taking up this role. The role is intentionally named ‘coordinator’ as Jenni will take on administrative oversight of groups and events happening for families and young people but she won’t be leading everything that happens. Her role is to build up teams to support and lead things for families and young people, but also to look out for development opportunities.
We’re really excited for Jenni as she takes on this role, and about what God is already doing among the families and young people we are connecting with.
Please join us in praying for the families and young people we are connecting with and for Jenni as she takes up the role of Families and Young People Coordinator.
