Coming up next week...  I hope everyone has had a fantastic week. Here at St. Leonard's Youth we have been busy (in a good way). This week we have a got a cell celebration coming up, and a Friday Pathfinders first...  Cell Groups  For the next 2 weeks all of our cell groups will be preparing for our up coming Cell Celebration on 15th October. Come ready to be creative with ideas of how we can make this the best cell celebration yet...  The winner of our breath holding competition was Grace Ford, with a staggering 55 seconds. In a worthy last place was Hannah Gundry with slightly less impressive 3 seconds Timing reminder:  Year 10 Cell . It is Week A next week, so Year 10 Cell will be meeting on Wednesday (4th Oct) next week at 8.15pm. Finishing at 9.30pm.  Friday Pathfinders (younger) Tonight (29th Sep) its a Friday Pathfinders first. Never seen before. We will be having our first ever.... POT...

Coming up next week...  September is nearly over. October is looming its chilly yet jolly head. Here is what is in store for St. Leonard's Youth this week...  Cell Groups  Last week Year 7-11 Cell groups look at what it actually means to be a Christian. Year 12-13 Cell groups looked at Baptism and Confirmation. Here is what cells will be doing this week:   Year 7 - 11 Cells:   We will be looking Baptism and Confirmation. What it is and why do we do it?  Year 12 - 13 Cells:  We will be looking at The Creed. Have you ever really thought about 'the creed' that gets said in churches? Do we really believe everything that is said? What does it all actually mean? Find out next week in another exciting addition of cell groups...  Timing reminder:  Year 10 Cell . It is Week B, so Year 10 Cell will be meeting on Thursday (28th Sep) next week at 7.15pm. Finishing at 8.30pm.  Friday Pathfinders (younger) T...

Coming up next week...  We are just at the end of our first full week back in full swing things and it feels good to be back! Here is some information you might need to know... Cell Groups  Cell groups all started back with a social and a bit of a catch up. We've had some new leaders join the team which has been brilliant. Here is what cells will be doing this week:   Year 7 - 11 Cells:  We will be looking at what it actually means to be a Christian. Are we following Christ? Are we following Ian? All these mysteries and more should be sorted out by the end of this cell session.  Year 12 - 13 Cells: We will be looking at Baptism and Confirmation. Ever wondered what baptism and confirmation are actually about and why we do them? Wonder no more. Just come to cell!  Both topics are very Christian sounding, but since we are a church youth group, I think we can probably get away with it...  Timing reminders:  Year 10 C...

First blog of the year...

Coming up next week...  Here is the first blog of the year. This week has been mostly filled with leaders meetings for all of our groups, but next week everything starts back properly. Here is some information you might need to know... Cell Groups  Cell groups will be starting back next week (W/B 11th Sept). Most groups will be meeting at the same times and the same places as before the summer, but, just to keep it interesting, there are 2 exceptions:  Year 8 (was year 7) Cell is now moving from being on Monday nights at 7.15pm to being on Thursday nights at 7.30pm. Still at the Ferrier's house.  Year 10 (was year 9) Cell is moving days and locations. Its much more complicated but since you're   so old and wise, you should be able to handle it. Instead of our old slot of 3.15pm on Mondays, we are now going to alternate between Wednesday nights at 8.15pm and Thursday nights at 7.15pm (think of it like weeks A and B at school ...

Coming up next week...  THE LAST BLOG OF THE YEAR. Enjoy it while it lasts! Here are some things you need to know. I hope everyone has an amazing summer...  Cell Groups  The Summer Holidays are nearly here! Hurrah! But the sad news is that that means there won't be any cell groups until the first full week back at school (this term that will be the week beginning 11th September).  Make sure you remember the things you were going to do when there is no cell...  Friday Pathfinders This week 21st July, its Archery Tag night! The younger (year 7-9) lot need to get there at 6.15pm and the older lot (year 10 plus) need to get there for 7.15pm. Its going to be amazing, so make sure you are there.  To find out more about Archery Tag, have a look at the website here ...  Soul Survivor Soul Survivor is getting nearer and nearer. I don't kno...

Coming up next week...  Its is almost the last blog of the year! Crazy! Here is what is coming up this week... Cell Groups  I hope everyone enjoyed the Cell Summer BBQ this year, I know I did. Thank you to everyone who came and to the Ferrier's for having us (and to our special guest chef, Ed O'Keafe). Here are some photo's, so you can re-live the experience from the comfort of your own home (sorry there aren't many, I was too busy having fun)... Most cell groups are meeting at usual times in the usual places this week to have a session about what to do when there is no cell. The only cell group that isn't meeting is year 7 (because most of your leaders are away).  Friday Pathfinders (younger) This week (14th July) is our WATER FIGHT (and BBQ). Come armed with clothes you don't mind getting wet, a water pistol and some water balloons. The plan is to meet up at the church hall fi...
