    WHAT IS PF YOUTH GROUP, ANYWAY?

PF stands for Pilgrim Fellowship.  Pilgrim Fellowship has been the name of the Sr. High Youth Group at First Church for hundreds of years.  It dates back to the pilgrims who first came here in search of religious freedom and it still fits because all of us, especially teenagers, are pilgrims on a journey. 

PF is for all 9th through 12th graders no matter your religious background, ideas about God, or anything else.  Everyone is welcome.  PF is a place for you and your friends to play, discuss, worship, grow, serve, and love.  PF is a place for teenagers to journey together in faith.

PF meets on Sunday nights from 7-9 pm in the Youth Room at First Church where we play games and discuss relevant topics in an engaging way.  PF also meets outside of the regular Sunday night time for weekend retreats, serving meals at soup kitchens, tutoring elementary school students in Hartford, summer immersion/mission trips, and much more.  See the PF schedule above and join us! 

 

 

  No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here.  Contact Rev. Kevin at 651-3593 X16 or kevin.weikel@1stchurchsimsbury.org
