3FC (Faith, Fun and Friendship) Youth GroupSundays 6-8pm

St Michaels Youth Group is open to everyone from Year 6 right through to Year 9. It's a great way to get together with your mates, have fun & meet new friends. The club has lots of cool games and equipment to keep you busy as well as giving you the chance to take part in the planned activities for each session. You can read for yourself the sort of activities we will be getting up to and you can look us up on our web site www.3fc.org.uk. You can download a registration form for your parent or guardian to sign, or you can collect one from the entrance hall at church. Then just bring it along to your first session and join the fun. The normal cost of a session is £1 but some activities, like cinema trips, bowling and swimming, may cost extra.

The sessions are particularly suitable for children between the ages of four and eight but older children are welcome to continue attending. If you would like more information about the Children's Liturgy or would like to get involved please contact Anita Dyer via the Parish Office.
