Youth Group
The
St John's Youth Group is currently inactive, while we consider the
appointment of a new youth leader. The information below reflects
the group as it was in 2007/2008. This page will be updated when
there is any new information.
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!
