Hello! Thanks for joining us for this week's blog. I can hardly believe another week has whipped around and here we are again... 

As per, here's your update for the week: 

I N   T H E   N E X T   W E E K 

Watch out for Olly, Jonny and me in the Sunday service! We have put together the All-Age slot (and had fun doing it 😂) all about waiting. The service will start at 10.30am and you can find it on the church website. Let us know what you think... and be sure to enter our competition... (more details if you watch the service).

Next week we'll be doing something a bit different with cell groups. Rather than the usual, we'll be meeting together for a session called "The Invitation". We have an external speaker coming to talk about sharing faith with those around us. It should be challenging, interesting and fun too! It's a cool opportunity to listen and think more about how we can invite friends and loved ones along to church; how we can be inviting people to know God and the Christian faith.

To ensure everybody can come, the session will be on twice; once on Wednesday, once on Thursday. (If you're in a cell group, you have probably had a conversation this week about which session your group could come too.)

If you would like to come on Wednesday 2nd from 5.30-7pm, here is the Zoom link:

Meeting ID: 857 7240 8492
Passcode: 164404

If you would like to come on Thursday 3rd from 6-7.30pm, here is the Zoom link:

Meeting ID: 813 6401 7709
Passcode: 056232

So please note: there will be no cell groups next week as this event is running instead. We'd love to see as many young people as possible engaging with these sessions as they should be really useful.

We have developed a feedback form for anything you might want to tell us - whether it's some constructive criticism or an idea you've had. So if you are feeling particularly inspired or want to have your say, you can do so by clicking here and filling out the form. 

Jonny and Sarah now have their own phone numbers, yay! This means they can stay in touch more easily - check out their numbers at the bottom.

We are considering the best ways to stay in touch and reach out to our young people. As the social media person, I'm trying to get my head around a strategy and the best way for us to be present without being annoying! 

It would be great to hear your feedback on the blog and our other social media pages, so if you want to to get in touch or if you have any fresh ideas, I'd love to hear them! Feel free to drop me an email: sarahstleonardsyouth@gmail.com

Thanks so much for catching up with us this week!

The theme this time is loneliness and you will hear which part fo the service you are doing a your cell next week! Read on for more...  Year 7 Cell: WILL BE MEETING!!! Even though this Monday (6th May) is a bank holiday, we have decided that unless meet, then the bank holidays will mean you have missed too many cells, so being the lovely leaders that we are, we are keeping cell going.

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
