PILOTS
Currently due to the Coronavirus situation the weekly meeting of our Pilots group is currently suspended. 

Picture
Pilots is a national organisation for children and young people. Each week, at St George’s, we offer a range of games, crafts, activities & programmes.

We also go on trips and outings from time to time throughout the year.  Once a year the Pilots take part in an annual camp - traditionally a weekend of fun at Phasels Wood Scout camp.  Only open to Adventurer groups and above.

Pilots is split into four age groups and all of them run on Thursday evenings during term time.

If your child would like to join Pilots, or you would like more information, please email : youth@st-georges-urc-hemel.org.uk

A few facts:
  • Pilots is ecumenical, sponsored by the United Reformed Church and the Congregational Federation.
  • Pilots was born out of a great historical 'story'. It's because of this story that Pilots has such a great tradition of affiliation with the world church. This is one of the aspects that make it unique.


How it all began

Picture
John Williams was a missionary and with his wife Mary went out to the islands in the South Pacific to take the Christian message. They had a very interesting time and their mission was fraught with danger. John was killed in the South Pacific in 1839. In 1936 the London Missionary Society invited children all over the country to save their ship halfpennies and contribute to buying a ship in John's memory so that his work could continue. Several ships were bought in this way and PILOTS came into being.
