Coming up this week...

Sorry for the lack of blog updates last month, it has been a rather hectic start to the school term. Here's what we will be doing this week...



Cell Celebration

The first Cell Celebration of the year will be held this Sunday at the Church at 6PM! The year 12s have planned a talk on the diverse subject of 'Prayer', so do please come along! If you are in a Cell Group you should be doing some planning this week. As a reminder, there won't be any meetings for the Cell groups the week following the celebration.


Friday Pathfinders

Younger Pathfinders will be holding a 'Battle of the sexes'.


For Older Pathfinders we will be having another board games
night, better known as 'Thirsty Meeples'. Only this time we will be running a 'Cafe Night' along side it!

Sunday Pathfinders & CYFA

 This week, we won't be running Sunday Pathfinders or CYFA due to the whole church gathering, where you can find out what's going on in the church and maybe meet some of the early birds who attend the 9 o'clock service. The service starts at 10AM.

In other news...

 During the summer holidays, we took a group of 32 people to Soul Survivor. It was, as it always is, a fantastic experience, which you might well have heard about if you were in church on the 13th of September.

Last month the church held a 'farewell' service for Olly as he stepped down from his position as the youth leader. As a thank you for his time running the youth work, we decided to cover him with post it notes!

More recently, we gathered to celebrate Ruth's baptism, where friends and family gathered to support Ruth as she got dunked!

Finally, Aidan has now officially started his internship and will be taking a more direct role within the youth work.

Wow, what a summer! Soul Survivor was, as it always is, amazing this year. If you were at St. Leonard's on the 7th September you will have heard all about it, but for those of you who weren't: We took 30 young people and 4 leaders with us this year and were joined by a group from Leicester. So all told we had group of 45. Which looked pretty good when we were all in fancy dress. But more than that, it was amazing to see how much God moved people along in their faith, simply because they set aside some time to focus on Him. What was also amazing was that a pretty incredible new brother of mine gave his life to God that week; it is has been brilliant to see what God has been doing in him since. Here is a little photo montage to give you a taste of what it was like:  After that we were straight back into the normal running of things for September. Cell groups have been running the 'It's Time' materials suggested by Open Doors, CYFA are looking at what
