Coming up next week... 
Next week is shaping up nicely, with all sorts of things going on. Make sure you don't miss out on the Cell Christmas Social (see below). Anyone who is wanting even more Christmas cheer and who is feeling creative might want to have a go at creating some Christingles. If you are up for it, it's saturday morning on 1st December. Please get in touch if you want to get involved. 

Christmas Trees
Thank you to the guys who helped out with our tree decorating this week! If you fancy coming and having a look at our hard work (and also some other trees too) then why not pop to the church: 

 Friday (23rd Nov): 12noon - 7pm (with a cafe) 
Saturday (24th Nov): 10am-12.30pm 

And, if you go, remember to vote for ours as the best, which it clearly is!! 
Cell Christmas Social 2018

This is it... the moment you have all been waiting for... the tickets for the Cell Christmas social are now on sale! Forget Black Friday, this is the sale of the year. 

 If you have never been before, you are going it love it! The Cell Christmas Social is a big event where all the members of our different cells (and our cell leaders) get together in the church building to have Dominos and play games. Every comes dressed in the best black tie attire and the church is decked out so nicely it makes Buckingham Palace look like a smell swamp. 

 This year we are having the social on Thursday 20th December at 7.30-9pm (that's the day before Barts breaks up). 

 Tickets are £6.50 each (what a bargain) and you can get them from the link below:

Younger Friday Pathfinders
Tonight (23rd Nov) its Alternative Craft night, so wear clothes that aren't your best ones and that you don't mind getting messy. All will become clear at the evening, but basically its an evening of crafts that you wouldn't normally do at your traditional craft evening! 




Next week (30th November) its a sing along Disney night. Think watching a classic Disney film, combined with Karaoke and you're on the right track. 
Older Friday Pathfinders
Tonight (23rd November) its Dark Games. You asked for them, so you are getting them. Complete with Dark Chocolate toasties. 


Next week (30th November) the choice is yours. I will put it to the vote this evening, what ever people choose will be the session that we do. 

Sunday Pathfinders
There is NO SUNDAY PATHFINDERS this week as our very own Olly Shaw is leading the service. All feedback welcome (as long as it's positive and doesn't mention his lack of hair) 

CYFA
There is NO CYFA this week either but Olly is leading the service. Any hecklers will be swiftly ex-communicated and then subjected to an a cappella performance of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road sung deliberately out of key. 

Youth Weekend Away! 
On the 8th-10th March we are going on our yearly youth weekend away. If you have never been before, ask someone who has to tell you all about it... 

Paper copies of the letters below have gone out, but if you prefer a download you can do it here: 

Letter to young people and kit list 

Letter to parents with link to consent forms

Consent Form for Weekend Away


Soul Survivor! 
Not content with simply going on a youth weekend away, we are also heading off to Soul Survivor again this year. For anyone who hasn't heard, Soul Survivor summer festivals are stopping after over 20 years of amazing times. I think we will need to be quick this year as I suspect places will fill up fast, so I recommend getting forms and deposits in as soon as you can. For more information have a look at the letters below:

Planned by our very own  Robert  Murrell! Because its nearly Easter, we will be playing lots Easter and egg related games. Some active and fun (planned by  Robert) and some just plain ridiculous and a bit gross (that Olly added in). Casual bit of first aid. I spoke to the guy afterwards and he was well impressed with our group  ...
