Youth

R.I.O.T (Righteous Invasion Of Truth) is the York Elim youth group for 11+. We meet together on a Sunday morning and also on Friday evenings. As well as the weekly programme we also have trips away for the weekend, and go on camps in the summer. We’d love for you to come along and get involved!

What We Do When!

When: Every Sunday morning, 10.30am-12.30pm

Where: Archbishop Holgate’s School

What: We stay in the service until the break, that way we get to worship with everyone else and take communion. After we’ve grabbed a drink (and a Kit Kat!) we go off to our own group where we play a game or two, then have some bible study and discussion.

When: Every Friday, 7.30pm-9.30pm

Where: Elim Corner, First Floor 47-49 Lawrence Street, York

What: This is our weekly youth group and its just a time to socialise and hang out together. We have a café and a tuckshop, so you can grab a drink and some snacks and then play a game or chat with your friends. Some weeks we have specific activities planned too. See Friday Youth for more details.

The Gathering 2010

And the special events….

When: October 2012

Where: Telford International Centre

What: The Gathering! This is a weekend away where we meet with 100s of other young people and get encouraged in our faith. It usually involves sleeping on a church floor, but there are great bands, inspiring speakers and lots of time to make new friends! Check out this video from a previous year:

Here is what our youth thought of it:

“Learn new things, meet new people, be with God”- Lizzie

“The best bit is when everyone is worshipping together in one room….it’s phat!”- Fran

“It’s amazing! There’s not much more you can really say!”- Gemma

When: August

Where: Coulbeck Grainge, Hutton Rudby.

What: ELIM FESTIVAL! Previously known as Fraisthorpe camp, this is Elim’s annual youth camp. There are meetings, sports, bible study, trips, tents, PROPER TOILETS AND SHOWERS, youth, a river, worship and so much more! For more information, or to book see www.elimfestival.com.
