USG Community Activities
We want to get to know all of you better!
Whilst we are very much a youth group we’re excited to say that we do also have several events that take place within the year aimed at parents and families. Below are just a few of the examples.
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another.
Hebrews 10 : 24-25
USG Family Walks
Yes, you heard it here first! We like to get together with all the Mums, Dads, Brothers, Sisters, and Dogs of our Urban Saints Lads to be more than names on a group chat. We love getting to know you all better and it gives the parents a good chance to have a proper chat with the leaders to find out more of what we are all about and why we are all so passionate about leading at USG.
Dates of the walks usually get sent out on Instagram or on the parents’ group chats to watch out for them! 👀
USG Run Club
This is less of a one off event but more of a weekly event. Some of you may have heard of Parkrun. Well, USG is lucky enough to have a building right next to the Guildford Parkrun! Parkrun is every saturday morning on Stoke Park from 9am and you will often see various USG lads and leaders partaking in the event. Every once in a while we will open the hall up after the Parkrun to have pastries and a drink together as a community.
There’s no sign up required for this but it is a great thing to take your son out to do on a saturday morning! Get in touch if you want to find out more about what we do on a saturday morning!
USG Family Picnic
This event is for all Lads and Leaders and their families to come together in one big community. Pitching on the luscious grass of Stoke Park we spend quality time together eating, playing games, chatting and much much more!
Dates of the annual picnic will get sent out on Instagram or on the parents’ group chats to watch out for them! 👀
Project ‘Celebrate’
The USG Birthday Party was traditionally an event where all Lads, Leaders and their Families came together to celebrate the past year at USG. There would be highlight videos from each of the sections as well as announcements of what to look forward to over the coming year. This of course was all mixed in with a load of food and games!
This event hasn’t run for a while but we are planning something big for November 2024 so keep your eyes peeled! 👀
