Youth Momentum
For the last six years, St Paul’s Shadwell has partnered with XLP to run a weekly youth outreach session on a local estate. Using XLP’s mobile youth centre in a van they’ve been able to just park up, be a welcoming presence in the community and a base for positive activities. Through this project they have worked alongside more than 200 local young people, many of whom have been able to connect into church groups across the Tower Hamlets.
Now, as part of the Tower Hamlets Mission Project we have the opportunity to build a van of our own so we can begin to run more of these sessions across the borough with churches in our deanery. We are so excited to be able to meet more of the youth in Tower Hamlets and support each other to grow outward expressions of our church communities.
Please pray this project starts well, and if you would like to explore running a session within your parish please do get in touch!
