Our next 24:7 Ocean Reef Youth Group gathering will be held on Sunday, 27 September, as we begin our new term together.

To kick off the holidays, we will be having a fun and engaging Games Night, giving our young people the opportunity to reconnect with friends, build new friendships and enjoy some quality fellowship together. The evening will focus on creating a welcoming and enjoyable environment where everyone can feel included and have a great time.

As we begin a new term, we look forward to sharing another year of faith, friendship and community with our young people as we prepare to explore a new theme and continue growing together in our relationship with God.

We look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday!

God Bless, Xzavier & Maria
