Doors open at 6.30 for games and a tuck shop, at 7pm we'll play loads of games, have some music (led by our own youth band) and general craziness and then chat about some issues that may be facing you. We finish back in the cafe area which closes at 9pm. It's a chance to meet other groups from around the area, mingle and be part of something bigger!

Staff and volunteers from Integrate YFC got together with local churches over Halloween to walk the streets and hand out free hot dogs and hot chocolate.  The two teams, working in Long Stratton and Diss, met up with over a hundred youth - handing out nearly as many hot dogs!.

As part of our chaplaincy initiative in the St Benet's Multi Academy Trust we had the privilege of running an Easter Prayer Space in Archbishop Sancroft High School, Harleston, from 28th March – 1st April.  We set up 5 different zones, separated by gazebos, rails and fabric with different stations in each.  Based around Easter we had Garden, Hope, Image, World and Forgiveness zones, an area to provide reflection on the Last Supper, a ‘Be still’ area and an empty chair to encourage time to think about people we have lost.

Getting Creative this Summer!

Young people have stacks of creative energy and for four days at the end of the summer holidays Integrate YFC helped some learn new skills and develop old ones through the use of smart phones, apps, memes and Facebook alongside practical skills, such as art and sewing. 

The week culminated in a trip to the beach with fish and chips - a perfect way to end the summer holidays!

Integrate Youth for Christ have just been joined by volunteers from local churches to run their second prayer space at Old Buckenham High School. The prayer space ran for three days and was aimed at year 7s as part of their Enrichment Week but was also open to the rest of the school at break and lunchtimes.

When the pupils first enter the prayer space they are encouraged to discuss their views and understanding of what prayer is. They are then given the opportunity to explore the Christian concept of prayer through engaging with different activities in zones (or gazebos!) around the room.

Join us for a quiz with jacket potato supper - 23rd March - 7pm at Diss Methodist Church

£8 per adult, £6 under 16s

 

Friday 24th - Tuesday 28th August
For the first time, Integrate Youth for Christ will be taking young people to Soul Survivor.

Newday is an event for young people with a strong Christian flavour throughout. Young people come to Newday in church groups. However, you don’t have to be a Christian to come, nor to belong to a particular denomination. In fact, we have lots of opportunities for people to find out what being a Christian is all about, in a laid back, non-threatening environment. Newday is aimed at 12-19 year olds, which means those currently in school year 7 upwards.

Integrate Youth for Christ have had the exciting opportunity over the past few weeks of bringing the GSUS Live trailer to local high schools.  Long Stratton High School were the first to experience the trailer, followed a week later by Old Buckenham High School. Finally, the trailer finished at Archbishop Sancroft High School. For those that haven’t encountered the trailer previously, GSUS Live is owned by the Counties charity and comes on the back of an Eddie Stobart cab.

Exploration Station We are now in our fourth year of running Exploration Station, which has been described as 'the coolest way to explore the meaning of life'.

Having run Exploration Station in Diss over the past 4 years we are expanding to run a series in Long Stratton with the help of the local churches.
