News and intro lifted off the soon to be obsolete website.

To start out, here's a bit of an introduction brought to you by the current planning Team, and a short promo made right after our last forum.

What is Yofo?

Youth Forum in the Quebec Sherbrooke Presbytery is a tradition which started 4 decades ago, and continues today. We have awesome weekends of young people gathering to discuss ideas, get to know each other and provide a positive space to grow and explore our faith. These events are designed for youth and young adults aged 13 to 20. We also usually have some older young adults providing leadership. We also reach out to other regional events to keep youth in different regions in touch with the wider world.


Here's some stuff that's going on:

Spring 2011 in Richmond:
Our Music and Creativity Youth Forum took place in Richmond Quebec in April and was a rousing success. Photos to come soon.

Worshiplude:
QS youth took a bus trip out to Worshiplude in Ottawa on the weekend of February 11-13. We had a great time hanging out with the youth of Glebe Saint James United Church. Pictures to come soon!

Here's Ottawa Presbytery's blurb from their facebook event:
"Hey United Church Youth Groups!
Come join us in Ottawa for a weekend of winter fun. Skate on the Rideau Canal, visit the Museum of Civilization, watch fireworks, ride ice slides, see international ice sculptors, all as part of Winterlude in Ottawa.

On Saturday night, we'll gather together for THE POINT, Ottawa Presbytery's big youth worship gathering. It's a great opportunity to meet youth from across the region and worship in ways that are fun and exciting. And best of all... it's all FREE! All you need to do is get here. We'll even match your group up with a host congregation here in town. Crash in their building, meet youth from their church, and worship together on Sunday morning before you leave.

We really hope you'll join us this February for Worshiplude. If you'd like more info, or want to register your group, email us at youth@uccanottawa.org or visit us online at www.uccanottawa.org/YAYA.html"


Autumn Youth Forum:
On the 5, 6 and 7th of November 2010, we held a forum at the Parkview Elementary School in Granby, and it was an excellent success! This youth forum's theme was Eco-Awareness.

Check out our awesome Flash mob filmed on the streets of Granby, Quebec!
