Worship Training Day Announced!

Cambridge & District YFC will be working with EngageWorship.org to bring you an exciting training event this spring! Bringing together young musicians from all over Cambridge, Engage the event will take place on Saturday 21st March at St Barnabas Church. The programme will feature specialist instrument workshops, input and inspiration for worship leaders, and of course lots and lots of top notch music! Sam and Sara Hargreaves head up EngageWorship.org, working at a local and national level to encourage young people to explore culturally relevant ways to express praise to God. We're really excited by this new partnership and look forward to seeing young people in Cambridge flourishing in their God given gifts!

Sundays at Starbucks

Exploration Station continues to be a focal point of our activities with almost 100 young people coming every week to Starbucks on the Cambridge Retail Park. Recent weeks have seen sessions on 'How can I make the most of my life?' and 'How can I be sure of my faith' with an irresistable atmosphere filling the venue as young people get the chance to explore the Christian faith. Our recent Away Day brought 85 young people together for a programme of teaching on the Holy Spirit, and 2 young people made commitments to follow Jesus for the first time. This is such an exciting project to be involved in, we're humbled every week as we see the interest and enthusiasm of young people. We have 3 sunday sessions to go - pray for us!
