This week our Youth Pastor Elaine Gowdy, with the full support of the heads of Church Council, posted a statement on the Refuge Facebook Youth Page. Here Elaine explains with sadness the situation with Youth Club and its cancellation for the foreseeable future due to COVID-19. A combination of factors arising due to the pandemic ultimately has resulted in the loss of this much valued youth ministry and will cause sadness across our church family.

Please continue to pray for these children and young people, along with the families they represent. Also pray for Elaine and her family, as they focus on continuing their discipleship ministry through Refuge Youth Fellowship. This bible based group is now moving to midweek, and we are excited to hear that the maximum capacity has been already reached, however there is a waiting list for future attendance if you want to put forward your Childs name. (ages catered for will range from p4 to 5th year).
