July: Exciting new projects - Re-Source and Schools Pastors
This March we began a monthly youth service called Re-Source. It is for young people who attend local churches and is held on the third Sunday of each month at the Methodist church hall. Another new initiative this Septebmer will be the launch of Schools Pastors in and around Coopers School. The team will be working to build and develop relationships with pupils and to encourage them to positively relate to their peers, teachers and the wider community.

About Chislehurst YFC
Chislehurst YFC was set up more than eight years ago with the aim of improving the lives of local young people through support, mentoring, encouragement
and having lots of fun!
After joining forces with Youth for Christ
the 2gether shop opened on the Hgih Street in 2004 to raises funds for this much needed project.
The success of the 2gether shop has enabled us to employ a small youth team, part time administrator and have our very own youth centre.
Situated on the Edgebury estate in Chislehurst, The Edge as it is called,
is host to a number of after school clubs and holiday activities. We also run monthly church youth services called Re-Source and have just begun a new initiative called Schools Pastors.
