So, although they will be happening, we'll be back on Zoom again. We would love to see as many young people as possible, especially as next week are the last cell groups before Christmas.

We enjoyed The Invitation event, but look forward to seeing you all back at usual times. We're also very excited that we'll be able to meet face-to-face again! This means cell groups will be either in the church (in which case, bring your face mask) or outside on the church land (in which case, wrap up warm and be prepared for the British weather!).</span></p><div class="gs" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px; width: 807px;"><div class="ii gt adO" id=":hj" style="direction: ltr; margin: 8px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative;"><div class="a3s aiL" id=":hg" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.5; overflow: hidden;"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-family: "Roboto Slab"; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">O T H E R T H I N G S</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Roboto Slab"; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Roboto Slab"; text-align: justify;">There's all kinds of events happening at St Leonard's over the festive period and we'd love it if you could join us!

If you'd find it helpful to spend a little time each day considering Advent and all that is to come in Jesus at Christmas, members of St Leonard's and St Peter's congregation have been putting together little devotionals each morning until Christmas Eve. This year we're thinking about the theme, 'Comfort and Joy' and there's a scripture and carol to go alongside each day. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Roboto Slab";"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;">If this sounds like something you would be interested in and you're not yet receiving the daily emails, please get in touch with one of us or email the church office (details on the <a href="https://stleonardseynsham.org.uk/" target="_blank">St Leonard's website</a>).

It should be challenging, interesting and fun too! </span><span style="font-family: "Roboto Slab";">It's a cool opportunity to listen and think more about how we can invite friends and loved ones along to church; how we can be inviting people to know God and the Christian faith.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXI3ymIgSGrnHinaLFZk-o4h3OPKtpgvJfdG3x5dapWS5cW4HS9XlRiB3DDjfHClwMzpE5vtVZOqf9GobHxomjnlCluuSFaIcwFNny8BNSyW9-Af7GL2QZsn1xlDlNuHclVjr69vnrfqdB/s1080/You%2527re+invited....png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXI3ymIgSGrnHinaLFZk-o4h3OPKtpgvJfdG3x5dapWS5cW4HS9XlRiB3DDjfHClwMzpE5vtVZOqf9GobHxomjnlCluuSFaIcwFNny8BNSyW9-Af7GL2QZsn1xlDlNuHclVjr69vnrfqdB/s320/You%2527re+invited....png" /></a></span></div><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Roboto Slab";"><p style="text-align: justify;">To ensure everybody can come, the session will be on twice; once on Wednesday, once on Thursday.

Thanks for joining us for this week's blog. You may have noticed that the blog was missing last week... I can only apologise that the rest of my work swamped me a little! </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: "Roboto Slab"; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">As per, here's your update for the week: </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: large;">I N T H E N E X T W E E K </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab;">Cell groups will be continuing to 'meet' online. </span><span style="font-family: "Roboto Slab";">For at least this term, we'll be tackling big questions during cell. </span><span style="font-family: "Roboto Slab";">Last week, many cells began exploring the question, "What has faith got to do with LGBT+?" and we're looking ahead to spend time on other BIG questions like, "What if I'm wrong?" (having doubts in our faith) and "What does faith have to do with mental health?". </span><span style="font-family: "Roboto Slab";">This week, we'll be doing a mixture of things - depending on what your leaders think might be best! </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Roboto Slab";"><span style="font-size: medium;">Although we are having to restrict meeting in bigger groups at the moment, we can meet 1-to-1 to go for a walk or sit outside (provided it's not too cold or rainy!). If you are a young person and would like to meet either Jonny, Olly or Sarah, please get in touch to arrange this. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: large;">O T H E R T H I N G S</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Roboto Slab";"><span style="font-size: medium;">On Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd December from 6-7.30pm, we will be inviting a speaker to come and talk to us online about <a href="https://weekendofinvitation.com/" target="_blank">'The Week of Invitation'</a>. This is an opportunity to hear and think more about how we can invite friends and loved ones along to church; how we can be inviting people to know God and the Christian faith. These two events will run instead of cell groups that week, and young people are welcome to come along to whichever session suits them better. If you're part of a cell group, next week we can give a bit more info and find out which night is best for your cell (so you don't have to come alone!).</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: medium;">We have developed a feedback form for anything you might want to tell us - whether it's some constructive criticism or an idea you've had.

Thanks for joining us for this week's blog. Our hope is that you're feeling at peace with all the changes at the moment as we, once again, go into lockdown.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: "Roboto Slab"; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">As per, here's your update for the week:</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: large;">I N T H E N E X T W E E K </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: medium;">Obviously there are some changes to the youth work due to the national lockdown. In a nutshell: <b>cell groups will be moving to online</b>. This means from today (Thursday 5th) for at least the next four weeks, we will be meeting via Zoom. Cell groups will remain at their usual times and we'll be sending out a link to join the Zoom chats in due course. Please let us know if there are any problems. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Roboto Slab";"><span style="font-size: medium;">We would love to get any young people who aren't already involved, into a cell group. So if you or someone you know is between school years 7 and 13 and are interested in cell, please get in contact so we can add them to a group! Contact details are at the bottom.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: large;">O T H E R T H I N G S</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: medium;">We are permitted to meet 1-to-1 with young people during lockdown. This means that if you are one of the youth and you'd like to go for a walk/meet in a public place to chat with one of us (Olly, Jonny or Sarah), you can! Get in touch using the contact details below and we'd love to see you IRL.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: medium;">There aren't many other events to tell you about at the moment, as we're trying to be creative and adapt the things we had planned for the coming weeks! Please keep checking back here, on Instagram and via any email communication from us to be kept in the loop. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: medium;">We have developed a feedback form for anything you might want to tell us - whether it's some constructive criticism or an idea you've had.

Or you might be feeling alright at the prospect of another lockdown. For us, it's mixed emotions as we try to adapt and keep working. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Roboto Slab";"><span style="font-size: medium;">But we know that God is with us and we are confident in the knowledge that He doesn't change.

Thanks for joining us for this week's blog. We're all feeling rather tired here in the office - it's been a busy half term! Hope you're looking forward to some kind of break next week.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: "Roboto Slab"; font-size: medium; text-align: justify;">As per, here's your update for the week:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: large;">I N T H E N E X T W E E K </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: medium;">We had a great time at our joint Zoom event with the young people and youth team from Cogges church on Monday (19th)! We saw Olly and Ben (Cogges' youth worker) theologically reflect on this video:</span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/X59cgXHh_nc" width="560"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Roboto Slab"; font-size: small;">If this video doesn't work, you can <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X59cgXHh_nc" target="_blank">click here to watch it</a>.</span></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: medium;">It was an interesting topic to think about..! And truly brought out the British-ness of the group with the outrage felt by the terrible tea-making skills. Overall, we had a fun evening and were left with some interesting thoughts.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: medium;">It's half term next week so there will be no cell groups. We will miss you all a lot, but look forward to seeing you back from week beginning 2nd November and wish you a restful, fun time off!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Roboto Slab";"><span style="font-size: medium;">We would love to get any young people who aren't already involved, into a cell group. So if you or someone you know is between school years 7 and 13 and are interested in cell, please get in contact so we can add them to a group!

It's always good to think about how we can be encouraging one another and what the Bible has to say on the matter. We hope this will be a week to become more effective encouragers, pray together and have some fun!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: medium;">We can still take orders for the St Leonard's Youth exclusive rain poncho, if any cell group members are interested. Please get in touch as soon as possible (details at the bottom) to let us know your preference (blue, pink or black) if you haven't done so already. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: medium;">As a reminder: they will be printed with the Youth logo and cost £5.

It's been an odd week of holding on to routine as best we can despite the changing advice and, in true British style, the changing weather!</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: medium;">Nevertheless, here's your update for the week:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: large;">I N T H E N E X T W E E K </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: medium;">Cell groups continue with a session called "H<b>ow was lockdown?</b>" It's a massive question, but we hope this can be a time to reflect, share and pray together through what has been one of the strangest periods of our lives. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab; font-size: medium;">We are offering our cell group members the opportunity to purchase some exciting merch!

It's Sarah here. If you're not sure who I am, I'm one of the two new Assistant Youth Workers here at St Leonard's. I'm delighted to be joining the team; you can read more about Jonny and myself in the previous blog.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">One of my roles will be to write this blog and oversee the social media to ensure you're all kept in the loop regarding what's coming up. So here goes...</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">I N T H E N E X T W E E K</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">We are excited to be able to begin some of the youth work again, following lockdown and the summer holidays. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">In this strange and changing time, we want to reassure you that everything we do is going to be informed by the latest government advice. This means things can change and we will have to adapt; as ever, the first priority will always be the safety and well-being of our young people. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">C E L L G R O U P S</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">Hooray! <b>Cell groups will be beginning again next week from Monday 14th September</b>.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">The plan at the moment is to meet outside the church building (on the church's land beside the Red Lion pub car park) under a marquee with a fire pit. Being outside means it's easier to socially distance and gives us more flexibility with what we can do. It also means the young people don't have to wear a mask to cell group.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhst4ktfkiDhfV0esEcyUPXRdzZyBNdAL58GLBi_6UJaGozxvpS8s6N5GBTFEbFRliwttxzAHp09pYz2GtwnNwK6n_on7Kpxc7ecvUBs3Vm4z_AxQrr56YtK6rR1sXryBGabz1817FqG5ma/s715/Cell_Location.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="603" data-original-width="715" height="338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhst4ktfkiDhfV0esEcyUPXRdzZyBNdAL58GLBi_6UJaGozxvpS8s6N5GBTFEbFRliwttxzAHp09pYz2GtwnNwK6n_on7Kpxc7ecvUBs3Vm4z_AxQrr56YtK6rR1sXryBGabz1817FqG5ma/w400-h338/Cell_Location.png" width="400" /></span></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">If the British weather lets us down, we have the option to go into the church building.

It's also important to note that the announcement made on Wednesday (9th September) regarding the adjusted regulations on face-to-face meetings does not apply to youth groups or activities, as long as all necessary precautions are taken <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-meeting-with-others-safely-social-distancing/coronavirus-covid-19-meeting-with-others-safely-social-distancing" target="_blank">(you can read about this guidance here)</a>.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">Olly has put together a risk assessment specifically for cell groups.

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Hello. This week's blog starts on a serious tone. Since the death of George Floyd there has been an outpouring of emotion not just in the USA but all over the world. Racism is an incredibly serious issue, which has been prevalent in society for far too long. As a white man, living in a predominantly white community, it has often been easy to overlook the unconscious nature of discrimination and it has only really been this year that I have begun to understand this. Although you might not be on the protest march, this doesn't mean you can't do anything. As a christian, I believe in a God who is for all. He doesn't discriminate. He loves everybody equally, and has created each person for a reason and in his own image. I also believe in a God who has the power to change hearts and change the world, and through prayer this CAN happen, and so as well as supporting the anti-racism movement, I am committing to praying to see an end to racial social injustice. Dobbo</span><br />

We decided to join together for the last task of making up a dance, use the link to view our video!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Coming up next week... </b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Helloooo, its me, I was wondering if after all this time you'd like to meet? Well right now, we can still only meet online, and I am missing seeing everybody in person. I hope everyone is doing well, but if anybody wants a chat about anything, don't worry about getting in touch, Olly and I are probably feeling the same and are happy to chat with anybody who wants too. For now, read on to find out more about this weeks online Youthwork. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<b style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cell Groups</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Cell groups are back starting today. I am not 100% sure on cell group timings as things are always changing slightly, so check in with your leaders about what time your cell is. We are starting a series on people in the bible who experienced a lockdown of some sorts. Each week a <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/imwvs96l8inontu/Moses%20Devotional%20.pdf?dl=0">devotional</a> will be sent out to you which if you can, you should do before cell. You will then be discussing that devotional, and more around that character at cell. SO you don't HAVE to do the devotional, but we encourage it as it will be really cool!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">This week I believe most people are looking at Daniel, whilst a couple may be looking at Moses</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Alongside the Sunday service, Olly and I have created a series of talking point videos. These are just a few simple questions to discuss in your homes, with your friends or just to think about on your own. They are based around the topic of the Sunday service and are just aimed to get you thinking that little bit more. We hope you enjoy them!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">The daily lockdown challenges have finished. Lots of effort went in from all involved and it was really enjoyable to see people joining in. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial";">The Tuck family took the trophy by one point with Sasha coming second. Your prizes are being ordered and sent to you today!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial";">The bible in a lockdown challenge is still going on, we are coming to end of Exodus and have completed the first two gospels. </span><br />
