Youth

The first thing you need to know is that God loves you without limit (Jer 31.3). Next, God’s plans for you are “for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope” (Jer 1.7). And remember, God’s thoughts about you cannot be numbered (Ps 139.17-18).

Even now we’re only getting started… If you want to know more about Jesus, have some fun, and get involved in community service then come and see what we are up to.

At St Andrew’s Cambridge we have two groups. One for people aged about 12-14 (who meet on a Friday night during term time) and the other aged about 15-18 (who are meeting at 8am on a Sunday).

Learning about who Jesus is; who we are; and who we are to each other.

Having fun with games, challenges, trips and camps.

Making a difference in our community by helping those in need.

These three values will help define who we become as followers of Jesus and members of SAY (Saint Andrew’s Youth).

Ok, so what’s the fish about?

Saint Andrew was a fisherman who Jesus called to follow him. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus called Andrew a “fisher of men”. (That really just meant he was going to help Jesus find people who would follow him.)

But wait, there’s more. In the early Christian church (2000 years ago), the fish was a secret symbol used by Christian. The Greek word for fish was ‘ichthus’. Each Greek letter stood for a word (like LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation). In Greek ‘icthus’ stood for Ἰησοῦς Χρῑστός Θεοῦ Υἱός Σωτήρ. Or, “Jesus Christ God’s Son Saviour.”
