and Thailand with many more countries coming online ... and offers young

people aged 18 plus with an interest in faith issues a range of courses designed

to integrate them into the local church family. This may include the opportunity

ICTHUS

Is a club for Comprehensive School aged young people that meets during term

time at 7.30 pm for a programme of activities and outings including some

Christian teaching. A tuck-shop is available.

ICTHUS ("ICHTHYS") the word for fish in the original Greek) is an acronym for

JESUS (Iesous) CHRIST(Christos) SON OF (Uios) GOD (Theou),SAVIOUR (Soter)

and represents the heart of the Christian's confession of faith.

The younger members of the United Reformed Churches have particularly
become identified as the ICHTHYS community. The Fellowsip of United

Reformed Youth has identified itself with the Fish symbol, used by the earliest Christians as a sign of recognition and affirmation, from its own earliest days.
