Boy’s Brigade Leaders
Each Wednesday night we have supported the work of Boy’s Brigade; a group for primary school/high school aged boys. This group encourages community work, social interaction, craft and learning, and spiritual growth and thought. For 2012, we are needing more leaders to help this group in its work. Leadership could be through working with small groups of boys, or taking on a support role in meeting parents/preparing drinks etc. If you would like to be involved please speak with Bruce Warren or Mark Faulkner.
