CHILDREN and
YOUNG PEOPLE
DTI 2024
This summer, we are once again taking a group of young people from the parishes of
St Peter’s Halliwell and Christ Church Pennington to DTI (Dreaming The Impossible),
a Christian youth festival in Stafford.
Follow this link to find out more and see how you can support this.
Tuesday evening 7.30-9pm at Parish Centre
Tread is a group for year 7 and up. At Tread youth we meet for crafts, sports, baking, games and go on various trips, as well as finding ways we can serve our local community such as litter picking or balsam bashing! We aim to be a parish wide youth session, with young people attending from all 4 churches, but welcome them to bring their friends and others in the community too. We explore faith and prayer in an appropriate way for those who don’t attend church as well, and it is a safe inclusive space where young people can have fun and be supported.
Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme
The Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme is for children from year 9 and up.
The programme enables young people to engage with their communities while at the same time encouraging personal development through the scheme’s sections of volunteering, physical, skills & expedition.
It encourages children to contribute to local charities and communities and encourages them to look after their physical and mental well-being. It also encourages those with little or no church background to engage with church-based activities.
