Coming up this week...  One week down and 4 more to go (until half term). Last week started well and it feels good to be back! Here is a list of what is coming up and some other useful things you need to know... Cell Groups  This  week at cells Year 7 + 8 + 11 will be looking at 'Guidance and how to listen for it', Year 10 Cell will be looking at 'Who is Jesus', Year 9 will be looking at 'Prayer' and Year 12 + 13 will be looking at 'What is Church for?'. Complicated I know, but we should all fall back into sync by next week (with the exception of year 12 + 13 cells as they all have young leaders in who need to be ahead of the game).     Year 7 Cell - the newest members of our cell group family!! (Naomi had to go before this was taken but she is one of us too!) Parents, please make sure you have filled out at  Consent form . Cell members, make sure you bring the  Consent form  as we are only allowed to let people come along for one we

Coming up this week...  Its another week of admin catch up this week for the youth work (Boo Hiss) but we are back properly next week (Hooray). Here is some stuff you might want to know before that... Youth Band If you have ever heard our youth band play you will know that they are amazing. As a special treat they are actually having its first meeting back this week, ahead of all the other groups. So if you were in the youth band last year come along again tonight. For the Junior band, they will be meeting at 7.00pm in St. Leonard's Church. At 8.00pm the older band will show up so that everyone can play together for half an hour and then at 8.30pm the younger lot will clear off and the Senior band will have their session. All without annoying a single neighbour (hopefully).  Cell Groups  There are no cell groups meeting this week. We will be starting back again next week (19th September) and unless you hear otherwise it will be at the same time and place as it w

Coming up this week...  This  isn't  so much as a update about what is happening this week (as there isn't much). It's more a list of things you need to know in advance... Consent forms ! We have got a new policy when it comes to consent forms (how exciting I hear you cry!). Basically we are getting a bit stricter and  people  will only be allowed to come for 1 week to any group without a form. After that, unfortunately, we will have to turn people away who haven't given one in. Our forms are actually being rewritten at the moment but they will be available to downloaded by Wednesday from here:  Consent forms So, you are feeling super organised you can fill them out  and  bring them to the first week back!  Facebook... Because  of a change of policy I (Olly) have to create a new Facebook account to connect with anyone who is under 18 or still at school. That means that this week, if I am friends with you on Facebook, you will get a 'friend requ

Keeping you updated...

What's new...  You may notice soon that there have been a few changes around here. This first is that Beth has now handed over the reins to this chap:  The second is that there is now a new 'Youth Steering Group' overseeing the work and making sure I am properly managed.   Blog, huh, yeah, what is it good for ...  (quite bit actually) If you are too young (or too old) to use things like Facebook, or you want a regular place where you can look to find out what is going on, then this is the blog is the place to come for all your St. Leonard's Youth related information. We will be putting out a blog every Monday letting you know what is coming up, which groups are on or not on and what we will be doing. You can even sign up to get an email with every new blog as and when it comes.  Next week... On that note here is the run down of what is happening next week...  Cell groups Normally cell groups would start back on the first full week of term. Howev
