TH.C Youth Football
A parent asked recently if we would be up for helping him run a football session for his son and son's friends. This sounded like a great way of enabling young people to reach out, include and invite others, build community and have fun. So we did it, and boy are we glad we did!
We agreed to run for a term in Mile End, and amazingly 16 to 22 young people showed up EVERY WEEK - we even had to run over half term! We've started a Bible study after the session to offer a space to talk about faith with this new community. We are really excited to see where God takes this in September.
Please pray that this session starts back well after the summer holidays, and that conversations about faith will bubble up and lead to young people continuing to be a part of our Tower Hamlets church family. If you have an idea to engage young people in your area, let us know, we'd love to see how we can grow Youth outreach in your parish.
