Churches provide wide variety of activities for B'ham youths The Birmingham churches provide many activities for area teenagers. Although not conducted in a strict, religious vein, the youth group meetings offer young people an opportunity to develop their faith through fellowship with others. Usually meeting together on Sunday nights, youth groups plan many activities to benefit others. Particularly around Christmas, the groups expend their efforts in this direction. Often teenagers participate in church services and toy drives for underprivileged children. Aiding in the operation of their own churches, teens are also active in Sunday school classes for younger children. But, all work and no play does not characterize Birmingham youth groups in the least. A wide variety of social functions are sponsored by these organizations throughout the year. Parties, dances, film strips, outings - these are but a few of their activities. Dinners are perhaps the most common way of getting together. John Calver and Marnie McConnel dance to the music of a live band at one of the many parties given Sunday nights at St. James church. xiiasflma Kathryn Van Thielen John Vaphiadis r , is fr ',r2-1 ,.
