| Vision - youth group |
| Having fun! That’s the most important thing as far
as we are concerned. We work hard to help others, but we enjoy each
other’s company and have fun while we do it. We go to the theatre,
ten pin bowling, out for dinner and many other things. |
| We take an active part in the life of Holy Trinity
Church in Thorpe Hesley and support activities that others organise.
|
| We help to raise funds for those less well off than
ourselves including social evenings for the Shiloh homeless centre
in Rotherham and for Christian Aid. |
| So if you are between 11 and 18 years of age, want
to do something a little different and would like to join us, you
would be very welcome. The group is led by Kath Scott, assisted by
Liz Scott, Jayne Hague & Joanne Varnam. For more information, contact
any of the leaders. You can get in touch via Jan Hardy. |

| Well, here we are again! Almost at the end of another
school year! And yes, almost at the end of the year for VISION. Time
to look back, evaluate , and look ahead for the next year! |
| I think it's been a great year, and I would like to
think that all the young people, as well as those leading VISION would
agree with me. Well, what have we done? It's been a real mix - but
with three main themes running through the year:- |
| 1. Having fun! |
| 2. Taking an active part in the life of Holy Trinity
Church in Thorpe Hesley. This means that we support activities that
others organise. If you visited the church for the fun run, you will
have bought your raffle tickets from someone from VISION. Sorry ,
if you didn't win and Well Done , if you did. |
| 3. Helping to raise funds for those less well off
than ourselves. We are all very proud to look back and remember that
this year we have organised Social Evenings for three occasions:-
for Easter House Project , Romania; for Shiloh , Centre for the homeless
in Rotherham ; and for Christian Aid. Wow! Did we really do all that?
Hard work at the time , but a good laugh too. |
| So .It's time to Thank all those who supported us
in any way. We couldn't have done it without you. |
| But we need your help again! One of the proudest moments
for VISION was when we sent over 50 shoe boxes , filled with gifts
, to Operation Christmas Child. We would like to take the lead on
this again, this year. So, we need you to save those new shoes boxes
for us. The ones with separate lids are easier for us to wrap, but
all will be used. If you have spare time in the Summer, we would love
it if you could knit hats , gloves , and scarves to go in the boxes.
Judging by last year , there are some very talented people in Thorpe
Hesley. Thank you , again. |
| Bye now. Enjoy your Summer. Kath. |
