Hi! I’m Jennie (the one with the ginger hair). I’m vegan - which means I don’t eat dairy products or meat. I’m 16 and doing my GCSE’s this year. My favourite subjects are History and English, which I’m carrying on next year for my A-levels. The Youth Group go out to concerts such as the World Wide Message Tribe and we go on outings to the cinema and bowling. We sponsor a child called Abedi who lives in Ethiopia and we send money to help pay for his education and vaccinations against diseases. The Youth Group is run by Yvonne (who is Ric’s and my Aunty!). We also go to Neil’s (the Minister) sometimes when we usually work on the computer.

My favourite films are American Pie, Independence Day, Enemy of the State and The Matrix. I play the piano and will be taking my Grade 7 this year. I take Music as a GCSE but will be dropping it after this year being as I don’t like classical music, which takes up most of the course. My favourite bands are Eiffel65, ATB, Five, Backstreet Boys, TLC and the Offspring. I love dance music as I enjoy going to discos and parties.

I go the Trafford Centre every weekend with my best mate Laura as it’s the best shopping centre in the world. It’s the bomb!

My name is Victoria Crossley. I am 14 years old. I am in year 10 at school and currently preparing for my G.C.S.E’s, which I have next year. My favourite food is Chinese fried rice and curry. Also my favourite group is the Backstreet boys. I like them because there music is cool and their dress sense is totally tops. My favourite T.V show is ‘da ali g’ show. I like this because I think ali g is soooo funny. I also like Holby city - which is part of casualty - and is all set in a hospital. My most favourite of all is Winnie the pooh - he is so sweet. I go to Crompton House Church of England school, and when I leave school next year I would like to go to college and eventually on to university to study law. When I am older I would like to be a solicitor.

At youth group we do lots of interesting things like going to the cinema and bowling and other things that are just as fun.

One of my hobbies is dancing, something that I have been doing since I was 2 years old. I do different kinds of dancing and these are jazz, ballet, tap, modern and national dance, and many more. Also on a Wednesday I go to Guides at Church and on Thursday’s I go and help at Brownies, which is very interesting.

My favourite place to visit on the web is www.backstreetboys.com and my favourite place that I would most like to visit is going to America or Hawaii. I also like David Beckham because I think that he can play football and I also like his hair cut and the team he plays for - which is Manchester United they are very good.

I like football, music, computer games and watching TV.

When I’m older I want to be a football referee, a football manager, and I’d love to be a football player but I’m not very good.

Hi! I’m Alex (the youngest). I go to Radclyffe School in Oldham. My favourite subject is woodwork. Every Monday and Wednesday I go up to the new school.

My favourite bands are Westlife and S Club 7. ‘S club’ and ‘Fool again’ are my favourite songs.

We go to Blackpool nearly every weekend shopping and sometimes to the Pleasure Beach.

At Church I go to Guides and Youth Group. At Youth Group we go to Yvonne’s house on Sundays to cook and play games and chat.

I like to read. My best book is ‘Zillah and May’. I play on the computer a lot, especially on Rattlerace.

My best films are ‘3 Men and a little lady’ and ‘Claria’s heart’. My favourite actor is Whoopi Goldberg.

Some of my family live in Ireland so sometimes I go there on holiday. I would most like to go on holiday to Hawai.

When I’m older I would like to be a midwife because I love babies!

I’m Yvonne and I’m the Youth Group leader. I organise activities for the Youth Group to do each Sunday Evening and also lead their class when they go out of Church on Sunday mornings. We discuss issues such as equality, sharing, modern christian life and we talk about bible stories and relate them to our lives.

The Youth Groups opinion of Yvonne:-

“Good-natured and tolerant - although lacking a sense of humour (!) but generally puts up with our loud mouths and arguments!”
