Sunday, March 25 from 7-9pm:  An important and honest evening on drugs and alcohol...  The truth is that before most teenagers graduate from high school, they will be forced to make crucial decisions about drugs and alcohol.  Therefore, it is important that our teenagers have as much information as possible on what drugs and alcohol can do.  Tonight we will host the folks from, "The Graphic Truth," an organization based in Wethersfield, CT, that exists to inform teenagers through personal stories of recovery and addiction.  For more about this program visit www.thegraphictruth.org

What is PF Youth Group, Anyway?

PF stands for Pilgrim Fellowship.  Pilgrim Fellowship has been the name of the Sr. High Youth Group at First Church for hundreds of years.  It dates back to the pilgrims who first came here in search of religious freedom and it still fits because all of us, especially teenagers, are pilgrims on a journey. 

PF is for all 9th through 12th graders no matter your religious background, ideas about God, or anything else.  Everyone is welcome.  PF is a place for you and your friends to play, discuss, worship, grow, serve, and love.  PF is a place for teenagers to journey together in faith.

PF meets on Sunday nights from 7-9 pm in the Youth Room at First Church where we play games and discuss relevant topics in an engaging way.  PF also meets outside of the regular Sunday night time for weekend retreats, serving meals at soup kitchens, tutoring elementary school students in Hartford, summer immersion/mission trips, and much more.  See the PF schedule above and join us!
