Their education, exams and social lives have all been disrupted, and mental health problems are on the increase. Provincial Youth leaders have been running a programme of online support and worship over the past year, so they know how much our young people need hope right now.

Some of them asked the question: \u2018Where are you, God?\u2019 But just when it seemed most dark, God\u2019s light dawned. The Glen 21 team wants to lead young people towards deeper faith and stronger hope.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Provincial Youth Week took place entirely online and it was found that even in the middle of a pandemic, it was still possible to do many of the things that make Glen so special: chat, laugh, talk about God, have fun and worship together. The leadership team will decide by 1 May whether Glen 21 will be held online, or in person at Glenalmond College.<\/p>\n<p>Young people of High School age are all welcome at Glen: if your church knows several teenagers or just one, encourage them to apply by the deadline of 11 April.
