Youthreach 2007 – 3rd to 6th April

This week sees Youthreach kicking off on Tuesday 3rd April at 7.30pm.

For those who the word ‘Youthreach’ is new to, here is a bit about what it means:

Youthreach gives the young people of MTT the chance to bring their non-Christian friends along to the Church to ‘hang-out,’ for Food, Fun and Fellowship. The main aim of Youthreach is to bring young people to know Christ and the deepen the knowledge of those who already know Him.

Each morning, Trevor Loughridge, our Youth Co-ordinator will be giving the talks, and in the evenings we have three guest speakers namely Dave Clawson, Richard Johnson and Alistair Bennett.

We anticipate webcasting the worship and talks at the following times (approx):
