Hi everyone and welcome to a new year of youth ministry in the Nelson Anglican Diocese! I'm excited to see how God will shape things this year as we continue to raise up the next generation with a passion for Christ together.
What can we expect this year? Nelson Anglican Youth will be continuing to support and resource our youth leaders and encourage youth ministry on the ground where you are, as well as assisting your cause by running or assisting with quality events such as: Charge Leadership, Easter camp, Nelson / Waimea combined youth group nights, Band camp in July, The Abbey in August and of course Spring camp happening over Labour weekend.
I look forward to catching up and seeing how your holidays have been over the term ahead and hearing some stories. Until then - all the best for the start to your youth ministry - II'll be praying for you.
