15th October 2020
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 & St Leonard's React To Zoom
Just to reiterate, this event will be instead of cell groups next week.
It will then be half term, so no cell groups 😢 but hopefully you can enjoy a week off from school/work/general busyness of life!
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 mentioned above, we have our Zoom joint event with Cogges Youth group on Monday (19th). Remember to sign up and we look forward to seeing you there: Cogges & St Leonard's React To Zoom
We are also planning a Film Night on Friday 23rd October for the return of our Friday Pathfinders meet-ups. This will be to replace the Disc Golf event which we had to cancel *sob* and should be a fun way to see in half term! Jonny has sent out emails to parents who we have contact details for, but if you are interested in signing up, the link below will take you to the sign up page.
N O T E : we can only have 15 young people at this event so it will be a first-come first-served basis, unless you had previously registered for Disc Golf, in which case you will have priority.

Otherwise we are hoping to bring back Sunday Pathfinders in some capacity! At the moment, we would really value feedback on what the young people would like this to be and what parents think about the practicalities. We've put together some questionnaires to gather your input and would appreciate if you could take 2 minutes to fill them out.

Having been in this role for seven weeks now (woah, where has that time gone?!), I'm excited for all that is happening within the youth work here in our community and wider afield. I'm also aware how easily I can be discouraged, whether it's plans falling through, the ever-changing guidelines and restrictions, or just the darker skies outside.
I've been struck by how much we must stick together to weather this tricky period. If you have anything that we can be doing as a youth team to help you and your family, please let us know - we are available via email or you can call/text Olly on the details at the bottom. We are also hoping that Jonny and I will have phone numbers set up asap!
