EPIC Youth
EPIC stands for Endless Possibilities in Christ. It is our Friday night youth ministry program which caters for young people from Year 6 through to Year 12. EPIC is split into EPIC Jnr (Yr6-8) and EPIC Snr (Yr9-12). It meets on Fridays from 6:30pm till 8:30pm. Each Friday night young people gather to connect with each other, connect with their leaders and, most importantly, to connect with Jesus.

EPIC Jnr
EPIC Jnr is for young people in years 6-8 at school. Each week includes a bunch of crazy games and activities, some dinner, a short bible talk and small groups and some indoor soccer. The cost each week is $2 for dinner. Each term EPIC Jnr goes on a outing to somewhere fun (Ten Pin Bowling, Laser Skirmish, Indoor Climbing, Ice Skating, BBQ and Swim etc)
EPIC Snr
EPIC Snr is for youth in years 9-12 at school. Each week includes music (with the EPIC band), a short talk from the bible, some sort of fun activity, dinner, and small groups and a bit of optional indoor soccer to finish. On Sundays we encourage all of EPIC Snr to come to our Sunday Evening Church at 6:30pm. On the 1st Sunday or the month at 5:15pm in the Lower Hall there is a short bible study, some fun and dinner before church. Pick up at 8pm on Sundays is recommended.
Term 4 2011
Term 4 is shaping up to be an awesome term at EPIC. EPIC Snr is having outings & socials in Wk 3, there will be another big United youth night in Wk6, and the term will finish with Jnr doing the giant Slip and Slide at Adam's and Snr having an EPIC Christmas! There are also some great things planned by the leaders for the regular nights as well. On top of all this fun we will be spending time each week looking at some really important stuff from the bible. Our series this term is called "God's Wisdom in a Wild World" looking at a bunch of passages from the wisdom writings in the Old Testament and thinking about how to live our lives based on God's wisdom.

I was in Newtown the other day and noticed the remains of a "Jesus - All About Life" sign tied to the fence out the front of a house on busy King St. Someone had obviously taken offence at the sign and ripped it in half. The sight of the vandalised sign didn't surprise me at all. With so many people walking past, at every hour of the day and night, it's a miracle that the sign wasn't vandalised earlier and its amazing that there was still half of it left on the fence! …
I recently read the book titled "Do Hard Things - A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations". It's written by 18 year old twins Alex and Brett Harris, who are Christians from Oregon, USA.
Their basic premise is that the expectations teenagers have of themselves in the western world is far too low, and that this is exacerbated by the low expectations adults and the society at large generally has for teenagers. …
Young people in Years 6-8 at school are well catered for at St. Alban's. On Sunday mornings the Fungus group caters for this age group. On Friday nights EPIC Jnr also caters for this age group. Although these two groups target young people in the same age range, they are very different groups with very different objectives.
The main aim of Fungus is discipleship. …
In recent times the Skidz group (Sunday mornings, school years K-5) has been growing and last term it was bursting at the seams. On some Sunday mornings there were more than 50 children present. The decision was made to split the group into two, from the beginning of this term. So Skidz has now become Light and Salt.
Two of the main advantages of splitting into two groups are:
1. It is now easier for the leaders to prepare and run age appropriate games and teaching material.
2. …
This term, each Friday night at EPIC, we are going to examine selected passages in the New Testament that explain key ideas about Jesus.
The series will be called "All About Jesus."
As we work through this series it's my prayer that we would all gain a deeper understanding of who Jesus is, what he has done, what he is doing and what he one day will do.
Throughout this term we will see how important Jesus is, how powerful he is, how loving he is, …
