Hello! Thanks for joining us for this week's blog. We're all feeling rather tired here in the office - it's been a busy half term! Hope you're looking forward to some kind of break next week. As per, here's your update for the week: I N   T H E   N E X T   W E E K  We had a great time at our joint Zoom event with the young people and youth team from Cogges church on Monday (19th)! We saw Olly and Ben (Cogges' youth worker) theologically reflect on this video: If this video doesn't work, you can click here to watch it . It was an interesting topic to think about..! And truly brought out the British-ness of the group with the outrage felt by the terrible tea-making skills. Overall, we had a fun evening and were left with some interesting thoughts. It's half term next week so there will be no cell groups. We will miss you all a lot, but look forward to seeing you back from week beginning 2nd November and wish you a restful, fun time off! We would love to ge

Hello! Thanks for joining us for this week's blog. Hope you're having a good week so far and that the weekend will be a restful time from the usual rush of life. As per, here's your update for the week: I N   T H E   N E X T   W E E K  Cell groups this week will be a bit different... rather than the usual groups meeting throughout the week, we will have our Zoom event with Cogges Youth on Monday. Here's all the details: When?  Monday 19th October, 6.30-7.30pm   Where?  On Zoom - details will be sent to you nearer the time     How?  We'll meet on Zoom, have some time altogether, have some time in break out groups and have a lot of fun   Why?  It's a great opportunity to connect with some other young people, set a fun challenge for your leaders and do something a bit different   If you're interested in coming along (and please do - it should be a really fun time, plus an opportunity to set the leaders some challenges), please fill out this form:  Cogges &

Hello! Thanks for joining us for this week's blog. We hope you're all keeping well. We'd love to be praying more specifically for you, so please let us know if you have any requests. As usual, here's your update for the week: I N   T H E   N E X T   W E E K  Cell groups continue with sessions on 'Loneliness'. Unfortunately the experience of being lonely seems to be a pretty common one. We, therefore, want to spend some time thinking about what the Bible says on loneliness, as well as how to take care of ourselves and others when experiencing being alone.  We would love to get any young people who aren't already involved, into a cell group. So if you or someone you know is between school years 7 and 13 and are interested in cell, please get in contact so we can add them to a group! Contact details are at the bottom. As ever, we're continuing to work on getting other groups up and running - so keep checking here or our Instagram page for the latest updates

Hello! Welcome to this week's blog. Hopefully you're settling into some kind of routine; we know we're grateful that we've been able to continue with much of the youth work.  As usual, here's your update for the week: I N   T H E   N E X T   W E E K  Cell groups continue with sessions on 'Encouragement'. It's always good to think about how we can be encouraging one another and what the Bible has to say on the matter. We hope this will be a week to become more effective encouragers, pray together and have some fun! We can still take orders for the St Leonard's Youth exclusive rain poncho, if any cell group members are interested. Please get in touch as soon as possible (details at the bottom) to let us know your preference (blue, pink or black) if you haven't done so already.  As a reminder: they will be printed with the Youth logo and cost £5. We've found it's always a fun way to unite the group as well as keeping us dry from the (inevita
