Godzone is a youth group for the 13+ in year 9 age group. Meetings are held on Sunday evenings from 7pm to 9:30 for socializing and Bible study.

Summer with Godzone

In July, Godzone organised a leaving party for Chris Cottle. Chris has been the Godzone leader for 16 years and has decided that it was time someone else to take over. He will be very much missed.

In August members of Godzone went to Soul Survivor. As always it was great to spend time away focussing on God and Worshipping Him.

The Noise

On Saturday 2nd May 2009 'The Noise' took place across Northampton.

Youth leaders and volunteers from different churches planned and helped at 10 projects that were organised within our communities.

Abington Avenue URC was responsible for 2 of the projects; a community BBQ and an allotment project. Two of our young people also took part in a community sports project organised by one of the other churches.

The weather was lovely and sunny which helped for all projects to be very successful. People around Northampton were blessed by the efforts of young (and older) volunteers willing to give up a free Saturday. Many of the volunteers had the chance to reach out and speak with people they had not met before. The day was felt to be very positive!

Our own car park at the back of the church was a place of joy, happiness, food, games and painted faces for one afternoon. The church allotment on the other hand showed the ground being rotavated, bean stocks put up and the new shed painted.
