Thirst@St Marks
"Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
[John 4:13-14]
Thirst meets weekly on Friday nights between 7.30pm and 9.30pm at St Marks Anglican Church, Malabar (during the school term).
What is Thirst
Thirst at St Marks was established in 2006 with the vision of spreading the good news of God's amazing rescue plan for the world to the school-age audience of Malabar, it's surrounding suburbs and beyond. The youth leaders at Thirst are committed Christians, who have a great desire to see youth of all ages, grow in their love for Christ. Thirst caters for school-age kids between Year 5 and 12.
What happens at Thirst?
A typical night at Thirst begins with an introductory activity or game.
This is followed by a general introduction, including a recap of the previous week, important announcements and a variety spot.
The focus of the night is a short bible study or talk, challenging the kids to decipher a selected bible passage or topic.
Prayer is also an important part of the evening, where the kids are encouraged to speak to God, praying for one another and what they have learnt.
While the kids are encouraged to invite their friends to Thirst every week, a dedicated evangelistic outreach night is also run during each term where the gospel is explained in a simple but challenging way by a bible-focused speaker. Thirst Parent Nights are also planned, in order for parents to find out what their kids are experiencing on a week-to-week basis.
Socials are often run during the school holidays, with details provided in advance.
Come along this Friday! We'd love to meet you!
