Armidale Youth Futures                  - Inspiring Hope and Purpose -

Each year Armidale Youth Futures holds an Annual Fundraising Dinner to support the work of a Special Religious Education (SRE) teacher in our local Armidale Secondary College. With your commitment and support, this work has been able to continue to impart a strong pastoral emphasis with students in the community.
This year’s fundraising dinner will be a fun-filled evening, giving time for enjoyment and fellowship.
Our theme this year will be “Run the Race … together”, drawn from Hebrews 12:1

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”

This year we will focus on tightening the linkage between the Primary and Secondary School Christian SRE, Young Life and their school chaplains; and Christians United at the university Tertiary level. We want our children to receive continuous Christian education at each level and essentially have each group “pass the baton” to the next level as our children graduate from Primary to Secondary then Tertiary levels.

Our guest speaker will be Sean Johns, NSW State Coordinator for the “Fathering Project” – see https://thefatheringproject.org/ . The Fathering Project aims to improve child development outcomes by helping fathers in their role of raising children, recognising that an effective father-figure has a profound impact on his children. Sean played Rugby Union professionally overseas, and his son is will be playing with the Penrith Panthers this year. Sean will be initiating the Fathering Project in Armidale in February.

There will be opportunity to give to AYF throughout the evening, with games and bidding for charity auction items, if you wish to do so.

The evening’s auction has been wonderfully supported by generous donors, both individuals and businesses alike. So let’s honour their kindness by bidding generously on the night!
