Back to the 'new normal'

Coming up... 

If you are a parent of a member of the youth group, hopefully you will have already received an email from me. If not, it probably means you aren't on our 'consent form' database, so please could you fill out the consent form which is linked below 



New Team! 
As you may or may not have heard Steven Dobson was offered a fantastic opportunity to develop in a career that he is hoping to purse. Because of this he has left our employment but he will still be around as a volunteer and still very much is loved by us and loves the youth work in return! 

The good news is that we have recruited two amazing new members of staff who have joined the staff team called Sarah and Jonny! Here they are in their own words: 


"My name's Sarah and I'm delighted to be joining the youth work team here at St Leonard's! I am married to Harry (who many of you may also know) and we live near Cheltenham. I made the step to follow Jesus aged 17 and know that being a teenager is not the easiest thing in the world. I'm passionate about mental health and creativity, so also run a blog and Instagram page about these things. You'll usually find me playing a board game, drinking tea, dreaming about owning a dog, crocheting, reading a book or swimming. I look forward to getting to know you all more and pray you will be blessed by this new team!" 



"Hi, my name is Jonny and I live in a little village just outside of Banbury. Ive been involved in youth work with my local church for a few years, so I’m very excited to come and join in with everything you’re doing at St Leonards. Along side youth work, I love music and art, and have been fending off the lockdown boredom by trying to learn the guitar. However, this had to take a back seat when I injured myself long boarding, another new lockdown hobby! I cant wait to meet you all and for us to get to know each other better over the coming year!"


Covid 19
We are working hard to get as much youth work provision restarted as possible. We still need to finalise our plans, but as soon as everything is sorted we will update you with more detailed plans. 

In the mean time, when you get chance we would love to hear your thoughts about cell groups returning. It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to fill out: 


The results will be anonymous, so feel free to be totally honest. On that note, if you want us to know its you writing, just type your name in the final question. 


Contact
If you want to know what is happening week-to-week in the youth work, you are already in the right place. But, if you need to contact us about anything else, feel free to get in touch using these (we will try to respond within 48 hours):

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
