End of an era. Thank you everyone

With tears of both happiness and sadness, it’s time to wrap things up — for now.

Mark and I have had the absolute honour of running youth group for over 15 incredible years. It’s been an amazing journey — we’ve seen lives transformed, watched young people grow into adults, and even had the joy of seeing some of them become parents themselves. In fact, a few of their little ones are now part of Sarah Cox Childcare, which is so special to me!

As time has gone on, our own families have grown, and our commitments within the church have evolved. We’ve come to the heartfelt decision that it’s time to step back and bring this chapter to a close — for now. We truly believe that, one day, with fresh energy and new leaders who can connect with today’s youth, the group will return even stronger.

Our final youth group session will be on Friday, 9th May, and we’ll be going out in style with a celebration to mark all the incredible memories we’ve made together.

Thank you to every single young person, parent, helper, and youth leader who has been part of this journey with us. You’ve helped create something so special — and we are deeply grateful.

It’s been a blast.
God bless you all!

With love,
Sarah & Mark

Good morning, Youth Group parents,

We hope this message finds you well.

After careful consideration, our youth team has decided to move Youth Group to a fortnightly schedule, starting next week on the 17th and continuing every two weeks thereafter. This decision will be reviewed at the end of each term to ensure it’s working well for everyone.

This change is due to the fact that our team of dedicated volunteers, who balance Youth Group with their regular day jobs and other voluntary commitments, are finding it increasingly challenging to spread their time effectively.

We would also like to take this opportunity to ask if you, or someone you know, might be interested in helping out at Youth Group. If you’re available once a month and willing to undergo a DBS check, we would love to hear from you!

We look forward to seeing your youth next week and on the new fortnightly schedule moving forward. Please note, as before, Youth Group will remain closed during school holidays.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding. If you have any questions or are interested in volunteering, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

The Youth Team 😃
