SR. Youth Details
|
Who's it for? - Anyone Grade 8-12.
What happens at Youth? - Usually we all just hang out before youth starts. After a quick prayer is said, we head right into games for about an hour or so. After games we'll break for food, followed by a time of prayer, and then we go into our talk/discussion time for the evening. After that we usually wrap up the evening in prayer or maybe even a game. |

When is Youth? - Every Tuesday! 6:30-8:30pm! (Check the Youth Calendar just to be sure.) Where is it? - At the Nicola Valley Evangelical Free Church! 1950 Maxwell Ave., Merritt, B.C., V1K 1L9. (Check the Youth Calendar just in case!) |

Alpha Youth

What is Alpha?Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith. The series focuses on questions of life, faith and meaning. Each session at Alpha looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. The Alpha Series is run all around the globe, and everyone's welcome. It runs in cafes, churches, universities, homes--you name it. No two Alphas look the same, but generally they have three key things in common: food, a talk and good conversation.

First up there's Food.
Whether it's a group of friends gathered around a kitchen table, or a quick catch up over coffee and cake, food has a way of bringing people together. It's no different at Alpha. Sessions start with some food because it's a great way to build community and get to know each other.
Then a Talk.
The talks are designed to engage and inspire conversation. Usually around thirty minutes long and delivered over about eleven weeks, they can be given as a live talk or played as a video. They explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions from Who is Jesus? and How can we have faith? to Why and how do I pray? and How does God guide us?
Followed by Discussion
Probably the most important part of any Alpha: the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic, and simply discuss it in a small group. There's no obligation to say anything and there's nothing you can't say (seriously). It's an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.
Next Steps

In order to keep youth group safe for all of our students, we require each youth to fill out and return a waiver with their parent/guardians signature on it that allows them to attend regular youth nights for the school year. Additional waivers for offsite events and special events will be available here as well as these events come up.
