St Michael's Youth Group:
Fantastic Friends in Faith
Engaging children through arts, activities, bible stories & conversation
Our junior youth program Fantastic Friends in Faith, for children ages 9-12, provides space for discussion, exploration, and asking questions. Each week, children explore a different passage, theme, or person from the bible using hands-on activities, such as drama, baking, arts and crafts.
The children's biggest event last year was deciding to plan and host a Christmas Party for the community.

From our 2020 pilot program:
What an adventure Fabulous Fridays has been for Spring 2020! With 650 packages delivered in the neighbourhood since starting in April, we've been on a mission to bring arts and activities to children and families dealing with the Covid shutdown at home with the challenge to "create something out of nothing". It's been great fun, and we've now wrapped up for the summer. Thanks to everyone who participated! We hope you enjoyed your creativity packages!
The Green Door Web Series
It's an exciting (and confusing, and scary, and wonderful) time to be alive! With everything that's going on in the community and wider world today, our kids and parents sometimes need creative and fun ways to make sense of it all.
​
Our web-series The Green Door introduces you to our resident puppets, Barley the dog and Nosebag the dragon, and follows them on their adventures in over 60 episodes! What do these two friends get up to? Gardening, arts and crafts, creating a personal box of happiness, farming inside (yes, that's right!), hatching chicks in the hatchery, baking... and dealing with the everyday things we're experiencing apart but together during the coronavirus: staying connected to grandparents in care homes, to our friends in separate households, having parents working from home, and what to do when it's just too much time together! They also make visits to the Beeton Cupboard food bank, the Beeton Garden, and go behind the scenes of Fabulous Fridays! All this and more is explored alongside lay pastor Jenni on our Youtube Channel.
Here are some of our favourite episodes:
The Green Door Episode 5: Grandma's Care Package
