High Tide youth services
High Tide is what we call the monthly get-togethers of church youth groups from across the Portsmouth area. From 2018, they've met regularly for food, games, worship, teaching and prayer, visiting each other's churches and enjoying each other's hospitality and worship styles. It's a chance to deepen their discipleship, and help strengthen bonds between young people in different churches. Many of these young people have then taken roles in helping to lead worship or other activities in their home churches.
It's also ecumenical, including youth groups from churches of different denominations, from Emsworth to Southsea and from Crookhorn to Stubbington. Youth leaders have taken the young people away for four residential holidays too, where their discipleship has deepened:
- the very first High Tide residential weekend on the Isle of Wight, April 2022;
- a four-day High Tide summer residential, in Surrey, August 2022;
- a five-day High Tide summer residential, in Surrey, August 2023;
- a five-day High Tide summer residential, in Oxfordshire, August 2024
