Maundy Thursday with Holy Nativity’s Youth Group
On Maundy Thursday, many churches keep a vigil all through the night and into Good Friday. At Holy Nativity, this important task is always given to our Youth Group who have an annual sleepover in the church!

❤️The Joy of Teatime Church ❤️
At teatime church this month we, looked at Abraham and the importance of our names and being known by God. We drew a picture based on the different meanings of our names and made keyrings. It was a really fun activity because we got to bake them in the oven and watch them shrink! We really love hospitality so as always there was cake! “Tea time church is a wonderful place for everyone to explore the meaning of life whilst…
Youth Group Hit The Beach!
For the final day of 2023’s Holy Nativity Youth Group Camp, we hit the beach! Having looked at the long range forecast we decided that Friday was the best day. After a hearty breakfast we filled our day sacks and hiked to Runswick Bay. Digging holes, burying each other in the sand and learning to float in the sea was the order of the day. After a steep climb up the hill to the minibus, we went to Beacon Farm…

A few weeks ago I met with Mr Sheppard and we both agreed that we want our community to have…

Maundy Thursday and Good Friday
It has been a really eventful couple of days! Once the traditional foot washing service for Maundy Thursday had concluded, Holy Nativity’s Youth Group kept the overnight vigil with a sleepover. Maundy Thursday is all about remembering the last supper so they began by baking bread for the vigil. Millions of candles were set up on the high altar with the loaf and then we were keeping watch all through the night. Later, a camp fire and toasted marshmallows kept…
