The Parish of Saint John the Evangelist, Roslyn 

Youth Group

   The Youth Group has been restarted after being inactive for some time.  The new group meets on Sunday evenings (currently every two weeks) from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.  For further information please contact Mal or Murray Thompson (467 2792).

   The information below reflects the group as it was in 2007/2008.  This page will be updated when new information becomes available.

   The year 9-13 Youth Group, known as the FRIDGE, meets in the Parish Hall from 5:00 to 7:00 on Sunday nights, with anywhere up to 25 people attending.  There are games, food, discussion and several away trips per term.  (Website Administration understands that FRIDGE is actually an acronym, but that it stands for different things depending on who you ask and when.  The important points are that it's cool and it often involves food.)

   The FRIDGE now has its own website; please follow the link below.  For further information, please contact the Parish Office.

Notes on the FRIDGE from Matt Dent The FRIDGE in 2007: Highlights    Samstock was awesome!  Samstock is a Christian music festival held in Mosgiel every year with an emphasis on God and music.  The festival included bands from all over New Zealand, as well as Dunedin's home grown bands Native, The Fee Street Hustle and many more.  The event was an awesome opportunity to meet others, have fun and meet Christian musicians who operate in the music industry.    At the end of last year we, the FRIDGE, held a youth service!  The focus of the service was mission, and how we can make a difference at the end of the earth (say Nepal), in uncomfortable places (a rest home), in the wider community (your school) and directly around you (in your family).  "It is better to be a small part of the solution, than a small part of the problem!"  Some missions members of the FRIDGE were involved in: Bringing fair-trade to schools Random acts of kindness, such as making face-biscuits for people etc. Striving to live by the example of Jesus in our communities! Other SWEET activities Rock climbing Trips to the beach (fire, marshmallows, soccer, you know . . . the usual!) Youth Forum Pizza night (we invited some special guests and provided a three course meal of pizza, including a dessert pizza, live music, complete with waiter/waitresses and mood lighting!) Cardboard furniture competition    And more!    See www.bebo.com/f-r-i-d-g-e for more information on what we are up to!
