Coming up this week...  Its another week of admin catch up this week for the youth work (Boo Hiss) but we are back properly next week (Hooray). Here is some stuff you might want to know before that... Youth Band If you have ever heard our youth band play you will know that they are amazing. As a special treat they are actually having its first meeting back this week, ahead of all the other groups. So if you were in the youth band last year come along again tonight. For the Junior band, they will be meeting at 7.00pm in St. Leonard's Church. At 8.00pm the older band will show up so that everyone can play together for half an hour and then at 8.30pm the younger lot will clear off and the Senior band will have their session. All without annoying a single neighbour (hopefully).  Cell Groups  There are no cell groups meeting this week. We will be starting back again next week (19th September) and unless you hear otherwise it will be at the same time and pla...

Coming up this week...  This  isn't  so much as a update about what is happening this week (as there isn't much). It's more a list of things you need to know in advance... Consent forms ! We have got a new policy when it comes to consent forms (how exciting I hear you cry!). Basically we are getting a bit stricter and  people  will only be allowed to come for 1 week to any group without a form. After that, unfortunately, we will have to turn people away who haven't given one in. Our forms are actually being rewritten at the moment but they will be available to downloaded by Wednesday from here:  Consent forms So, you are feeling super organised you can fill them out  and  bring them to the first week back!  Facebook... Because  of a change of policy I (Olly) have to create a new Facebook account to connect with anyone who is under 18 or still at school. That means that th...
