95 youth and leaders headed away from 4th-6th December to Port HackiInvert Campng for our first annual INVERT camp. It was an excellent weekend for all who were there!

Clayton Moss, the chaplain at Meriden School for Girls at Strathfield joined us and gave us three talks from the book of Hebrews. We learnt about Jesus who is supreme above all things, Jesus as out great High Priest and Jesus as the mediator of the New Covenant.

The weekend was an opportunity to review our year in St Matt's Youth and spend time reflecting on what God has been teaching us and doing in our midst. We thanked the Yr 12s and farewelled them as they leave school and the youth ministry and head off to enjoy some time together at Getaway.

Friday Night Youth Bible Studies

Bible StudiesWe have a vibrant youth ministry that meet in single sex Bible Study groups on a Friday night. Over 100 youth in years 6-12 gather together at the end of the school week in these groups to enjoy time together eating food, sharing their lives with each other, supporting one another in prayer and opening God's word in a small group context. And of course, to have some fun! This is a valuable context in which pastoral care can take place and individuals can find answers to some of their questions.

The Hope of Christ: 6 Studies on ‘The End’

To kick off the year in FNBS we are going to explore what theologians call 'Eschatology'. For us, that means what does the Bible say happens after you die, and when Jesus comes back? In short, what does the Bible say about what will happen at the end? We will look at:
Term 1 2010
Week 1: Knowing the future helps in the present
Week 2: What happens to Grandma when she dies
Week 3:God's promises of salvation
Week 4: Jesus will come again
Week 5: The sufferings of Hell and the joys of Heaven
Week 6: God's eternal greatness and glory

 
Extreme Church

It is run as a contemporary church service for teenagers and includes segments such as singing, Bible talks, memory verses, skits, games, book reviews and prayer. It is always a lot of fun and we'd love you to join us!

This term Extreme will be looking at the letter of 1 Peter.

 
Youth Leaders

Youth Leaders 2010We have a team of 20+ voluntary youth leaders who dedicate their time and energy to looking after the teenagers in our church. Many of these leaders have themselves come to know God through youth ministry programs and love to serve in this ministry, desiring those younger than them to also be impacted by the Gospel.  They prepare and lead weekly Bible studies, facilitate pastoral care and act as role models for our youth. All leaders have completed Safe Ministries training.
