Laura Wright celebrates the faith of young people and explores what church means to the new generation today.\n \nLaura visits Trinity Church in Nottingham, where the youth group has grown so much that it now meets in its own church building for monthly nights of worship and games led by the young people themselves. She then meets Stephen Fischbacher, the Christian behind the charity Fischy Music, which helps the mental health and well-being of thousands of children every year by writing and singing uplifting songs with them.\n \nWe also join the launch of Cheeky Pandas and the Jesus Storybook Bible, a series of free online videos for children bringing the Bible to life through cartoons and stories read by famous Christians like Mary Berry, Bear Grylls and the archbishop of Canterbury. \n \nWith music to celebrate young people and faith, featuring a specially recorded song from the current BBC Young Choristers of the Year.\n \n1.
