Since
1998, when the first full-time Development Officer was appointed, Pilots
has grown steadily. There are
now over 160 companies in existence, spread all over the three nations
served by the United Reformed Church. Pilots
are organised into four age groups: Deckhands
(5-6), Adventurers (7-10), Voyagers (11-14) and Navigators (15-17).
They enjoy a mix of games, worship, projects, discussions and
working for crests or seals related to specific interests.
The programme retains a world church flavour and is proving to be a
very effective method of Christian education.
Here
at Christ Church we have four leaders (and also helpers) caring for our
Pilots with a maximum total of 24 members. At
present we have 21 members who are in regular attendance on a Tuesday
evening 8:30 to 20:00, during term time only. We
intend to bring into membership new candidates every half term this will
enable us to afford consistency with all other Pilots. We
are looking for any new members who wish to join the waiting list or fill
the gaps we have currently. Please make all your approaches through the
Pilot Captain (Chris van der Lee).
