Youth

Youth is a place for 11-17s to hang out, eat good food, play games, and ask honest questions about life and faith. Read more at redeemermcr.com/youth. We meet every second Saturday at Chorlton Methodist Church, from 6.30-8pm. In each session we explore a real-life theme, like anxiety, friendship, identity or hope, see what the Bible has to say about it, discuss it together, and there’s always a practical help that connects with real lives. ### A TYPICAL YOUTH SESSION * Dinner and games on arrival * Big chat: we introduce the main theme and some ideas to think about * Group discussion: young people get to think through and share their thoughts * Practical activity: learn techniques to help you right now * Hang out: video and board games, hanging out All Youth leaders are DBS checked and receive annual training in safeguarding (you can read our safeguarding policy here).
