Leaside United Church Youth welcomes all youth. LUCY began in 2009 with a handful of junior high students who are now finishing off high school or are in their first few years at University. Each year we have more youth, who have started grade six or up, join us for fun and friendship. LUCY strongly adheres to the following principles:
• To give youth a voice through hands on experiences, art, sports, games, drama, discussions and community involvement
• To be OPEN to ALL youth, regardless of their race, religious backgrounds, beliefs or sexual orientation
• Attendance on Sunday mornings or membership to Leaside United Church is not required
• No religious instruction is given; however, we celebrate and support each other’s spirit by respecting and supporting our individual journeys.
• Our mantra: “Kind words and kind deed’s”
Details:
LUCY meets Sunday evenings at the church from 7pm to 9pm. We begin with a check in followed by an informal discussion about any interesting current events or things happening in our own lives. Sometimes we have guests that come to share about their interesting jobs or hobbies. After our group time we share a snack, play games and generally just hang out.
Each Fall LUCY kick’s off the year with a weekend retreat at Camp Big Canoe where we have a chance to re-connect after the summer break, develop leadership skills, make new friends and most importantly we build community!
Why not join us one Sunday night and see for yourselves what we’re all about? You’re welcome to drop in occasionally, come every Sunday or just join us a couple of times a year…whatever suits you.
