Young People's Ministry Fund 

The YPMF was launched on Sunday, 9^th June. It’s a campaign to raise funds to develop our ministry to young people. You should have guessed by now that YPMF stands for Young People’s Ministry Fund. Our target is £150,000 which will fund us for five years.

Tim and Robert delivered a joint sermon sharing how they first heard the Jesus story; the one thirty years ago, the other eighty years ago. How different now from then! Today we need really vibrant and exciting ways of telling the Jesus story and that needs specialist resources, time, imagination and knowledge of today’s young people. That’s what the YPMF will help us do.

The YPMF Booklet was given to all attending that Sunday’s services – at the ten o’clock it was our young people themselves who gave it out. The Booklet describes in detail the why’s and wherefores of our campaign; how to donate either by a single one-off donation, by regular monthly contributions and by a third way – the Legacy Way.  The Booklet invites you to give its contents careful consideration and to then review how much you could afford to contribute. It even gives you a prayer to pray and a dotted line to sign on.

St. John’s is good at exciting projects; we built the Centre twenty years ago and we renewed the church building itself ten years ago. Now the YPMF campaign is this decade’s really exciting project.

If you haven’t got the Booklet don’t worry. We will make sure you don’t go without one and they are available in the Centre and at the back of Church if we miss you. Tim and Robert look forward to you joining us in YPMF and the really exciting step of helping today’s young people get to know something of Jesus. 

Donations may be made via the Church website saintjohns.org.uk/young-peoples-ministry-fund or Parish Office.
