Hi Everyone,

Incase you haven’t seen the forecast for this weekend there’s a very strong chance of ‘the raindrops fall with a pitter, patter, pit!’. Saturday is looking like the worst day of rain with a little bit on Sunday and hopefully clearing by Monday.

Expedition will still be going ahead and the organisers will be keeping a close eye on the weather and adjusting plan as required.

Please make sure your pathfinders come ready and prepared for wet weather. A raincoat and pack cover is a must! We’d also strongly encourage rain pants, a spare change of dry clothes, waterproof shoes alongside making sure pack contents are kept dry.

We look forward to seeing you on Friday!

If any of the Albury Pathfinders would like to attend Summer Camp in Jindabyne, registration is now open.

Get ready for an unforgettable week of fun, friendships and faith at the SNSW Summer Camp 2027!

This year’s theme is 'YOLO — You Only Live Once!' So we’re going all in! Get ready for an action-packed week filled with adventure, games, awesome activities, great food and plenty of opportunities to make new friends and create memories that will last a lifetime.

But YOLO isn’t just about having lots of fun making the most of life, it’s about what we choose to live for. This week is all about discovering what it looks like to live a life fully committed to Jesus, growing closer to God and learning that the best life isn’t found in living for ourselves, but in living for Jesus.

Come ready to have fun, step outside your comfort zone, build friendships, grow in your faith and experience an adventure you won’t forget!

This morning the Albury Pathfinder Club had a wonderful time together walking the 4.3km Gateway Island Trail.

We completed the Sculpturing Honour and talked about how God shapes our lives when we are in His hands.

The sun ☀️ was shining, the birds 🐦 were singing, even some kangaroos came to say hello.

Thanks for a fun time together everyone.

Sophie is always the first to put up her hand and serve with a smile, always eager to help in anyway that she can. She loves getting involved with anything youth ministry related, and knows how to feed the masses with quality food! Sophie has been working as an Exercise Physiologist and continues to work in that space part time, while we get the other share of her attention. Her impact is being felt already! Thank you Sophie Bullock!
