Coming up this week...  Merry Christmas to all and to all a good week... this is the last proper blog of the year (there will be another next week, but it will mostly be pictures of the cell social). Here is what is coming up in the next week... Cell Groups  Next week  there  are no cell groups :(. But that is because we are having our joint Christmas Social!! Its an evening full of dressing up in fancy clothes, eating pizza and and playing games. What's not to love?! (unless you don't like fun, in which case you will hate it)  If you haven't handed in you need to as soon as you can. If we don't know you are coming, you will be allowed in, but you won't be allowed any of the delicious, delicious Domino's.  If you haven't had an invite, print this picture off and give it to me with a £5er Friday Pathfinders (younger) Today (9th) is the last Pathfinders before Christmas, so make sure you are wearing a Christmas jumper and come ready

Coming up this week...  As the nights draw in and the weather gets colder, the youth work carries on regardless . Here is what is coming up in the next week... Cell Groups  Because of Cell Leaders training, only cells that meet on a Monday are  happening  this week.  So that means:  Year 7 Cell are meeting normal time, normal place, and are having a session on Equality.  Y ear 8 Cell are meeting (at Caroline's house this week, not Emily's if you don't know where Caroline lives, Emily will be waiting at hers, but make sure you are on time!) and having a session on Equality  Year 9 Cell are meeting, same time, same place and are having a follow up session about Porn.  No other cell groups are on this week, but they will be back next week!  Friday Pathfinders (younger) Today is Takeshi's castle night at younger Pathfinders and it is going to be amazing!

Coming up this week...  I can't believe we are so far through November already! The main responses I had from people were that Friday was better for the blogs, so Fridays it shall be. Here is what is coming up in the next week... Cell Groups  Next week Year 7, 8, 9, 10 + 11 cell  will be  doing a session on Porn and Year 12 and 13 cell will be doing a session on Equality. Both will be pretty good  discussions  so come prepared! All cells will be meeting as normal next week.

Coming up this week...  We are thinking about changing our blog day to Friday (so that people in Monday Cells have a bit more warning of what is happening). Let me know what you think. Is it better like this or more confusing? Have a gander and see what you think... Cell Groups  Next week Year 7, 8, 9, 10 + 11 cell  will be  doing a session on Social Media and Year 12 and 13 cell will be doing a session on Porn (nearly typed looking at porn there, which for the record, we won't be doing in the session!). All cells will be meeting as normal next week. Normal time, normal places.  Friday Pathfinders (younger) Just a reminder that there is NO younger Pathfinders today (4th)!  Next week (11th) we will be having an old fashioned 'Girls vs Boys' night.  Friday Pathfinders (older) Just a reminder that there is NO older Pathfinders today (4th) either!  Next week (11th) we will be having 'Kids Party Games' night breaking out such classi

Coming up this week...  I hope everyone has been having a wonderful half term, even if its just enjoying the simple things like sleeping in till 12 and sitting on the sofa all day, or there being less traffic on the a40 on your way to work (depending on what half term means for you!). I am sad to say that the coming of this blog heralds the end of that blissful period. Here is a list of what is coming up to cheer you up when half term is over... Cell Groups  Because it is INSET day on Monday year 7, 8 + 9 cell groups will NOT be meeting this week. But we will make it up to you by having Monday cells on the 28th November (when all the other cells  won't  be meeting).  All other cells will be meeting as normal this week. Normal time, normal places.  Parents  evening for cell groups Don't worry, its not like a normal parents evening and there will be no report cards. Its basically a chance for parents to come and look at what we will be doing as cells over t
