St. Leonard's Youth Work Update

Coming up this week...  This month seems to be going super quickly! I can't believe we are nearly at the end of it. Here is what is happening this week... Cell... This week is our first week of looking at 'Big Questions' and we will be exploring the topic of science and religion. Are they the same thing? Are they anti each other? Is there any point talking about any of this? All that and more to look forward to at cell. We looked at new year last week, so this week we will also be putting together time capsules with the beautiful selfies we took last week. Hopefully then next year we will be able to open them and see how young we all looked and be embarrassed   by our poses.  Exhibit A Next week the cell leaders are having a training session so normal cell sessions will be cancelled. Friday Pathfinders... This week the younger pathfinders will be taking part in "I'm a Pathfinder Get Me Out Of Here!" so come in clothes you a...

Coming up this week...  Apologies for the lateness of this post. After a more relaxed week last week St. Leonard's Youth work is now back into the full swing of things and Monday proved to be a busy old day!  So, here is what is coming up this week... Cell... This week all the cell groups are back up and running in at their usual times and in their usual places. This week in cells we will be taking part in a Spanish new years tradition involving grapes. We will also be looking new starts and how New Years celebrations can be linked to faith and personal development.  If you have never been to a cell group before, then now might be a good time to check one out and see what you think of them. If you interested in finding out more, feel free to get in touch.  Friday Pathfinders... Friday Pathfinders is back this week, 6.30pm - 7.45pm for Younger Pathfinders and 8.00pm - 9.30pm for the Older Pathfinder...

That went quickly...  Well, that is the school holidays over and done with. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and an exciting New Year. This isn't a normal update blog, as there isn't too much happening this week, but I wanted to put out a blog, just to keep you all in the loop. Groups... As is our normal procedure there are no groups meeting this week because there has not been a full week back at school. We will be using this time to have our leaders meetings and make sure that we are ready and raring to go with the next term.  Olly and Beth are also back in the office so if you want to come in and say hi, or want to know anything else about the youth work then please feel free to get in touch.  Last terms news letter...  I have also sent out an update news letter for last term. If you want to you can read it here:  January news letter If you follow that link, in the top left hand corner there is also a button to ...

Coming up this week...  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! So things are starting to wind down here at St. Leonard's youth, but don't worry, we will be back after the holidays. Cell... Last week was our last normal cell group meeting until after Christmas. All cells will be will starting back again on the week beginning 12th January (the first full week back at school). Here is the year 10 cell enjoying their secret santas...  This Thursday at 7.00pm - 9.30pm in the church is our yearly Cell Christmas Social, so come Thursday afternoon some of your lovely cell leaders will be decking the church out to all its Christmas socially glory.Be Excited! Its going to be great... If you want to come but still haven't paid Olly or Beth, please can you get it to us today or give us a ring to confirm you are definitely coming!  Friday Pathfinders... There will be no Friday Pathfinders this week as we have broken up f...

Coming up this week...  This is the last week of normal meetings until Christmas, so get set for a jolly old week. Cell... This week most cell groups will be having their own Christmas socials or will be continuing to look at the Christmas story. At the end of this week regular cell group meetings will break for the Christmas holidays until we start back on the 12th January.  This week is also the deadline for buying your cell celebration tickets, so make sure you get your money and your invite in to Olly or Beth asap.  Friday Pathfinders... Pathfinders is starting earlier than usual this week at 5.50pm (for both older and younger)! The reason we're meeting earlier is that we are going to watch a brilliant Christmas play by the amazing Riding Lights Theatere Company. Tickets normal cost £4 - £6 but for Friday Pathfinders they are £3, so make sure you come to the church hall on time!  Last week was our festive Christmas special ...

Coming up this week...  You may have noticed that there weren't very many youth groups happening last week. That was because we were having a cell leaders training session with the lovely CYM so cell leaders had the week off.  There was no Friday Pathfinders because we didn't quite have enough leaders to run.  But this week we are back baby... Cell... It is only 24 days till Christmas (your welcome)!! So this week at (most) cells we will be looking at the story of Christmas. Also this week invites for the 2014 Cell Christmas Social will be going out so keep your eyes peeled for those! :-) Friday Pathfinders... The Friday Pathfinders Christmas special is always full of Christmassy wonderfulness, but this time we are making it even more wonderfuler... we are adding a Christmas jumper dress code.  This week is the Christmas special so make sure you come wearing a Christmas jumper! We will be making Christmas crafts and playing...
