Fairford Deanery Youth Worker
Chris Saunders, Fairford Deanery Youth Worker, has served as a full-time youth worker for over 15 years in far-flung settings such as Aberystwyth, Walsall and Ukraine. When he’s not looking for ways to include his toddler son in his sermon illustrations he enjoys watching (successful) Welsh rugby!
If you would like to volunteer to help in any way (from prayer support to making cushions or helping with a group) or would like to find out more, please do get in touch with Chris by email or telephone 07918 732040.
Treasure Hunt July 2010
We have ‘specials’ at various times of the year, including attending Christian festivals like New Wine 2010 with a chance to receive good teaching, make new friends and serve on teams. For those who feel a call to overseas service there is also an annual Diocesan mission link with India along with more local charities we support. We get together with other local youth groups regularly and have a committed bunch who pray for our young people and students away at universities.
