9th February 2014

What happened this week at Gunville Methodist Church:

Rock Solid:
We learnt that “In this world you will have trouble…” and thought about what it means that God has “overcome the world” from John 16:33

Rising Tide:

Rising Tide is the youth group during church Sundays. Rising Tide is not on this week but will meet again next Sunday morning.

… We are planning to launch 'The Space' - our new Youth Cafe on February 26^th. The Space will be for young people on their way home from school to come and have a free drink and cake. This will be a great chance to build new relationships.

At Moorlands this week:

We started 2 new modules this week – Old Testament Studies and Hermeneutics (interpretation of text). The 2^nd and 3^rd year students are now all away on block placement so college is very quiet!

At Duke of Edinburgh this week:

We taught the young people how to cook on ‘trangia’ camping stoves that they will use during their expedition.

With Youth for Christ this week:

Prayer Breakfast:

We thought about the things that are 'trials' for us in our work and lives and prayed together.

Team Meeting:

We planned the Catalyst Weekend Away and a couple of upcoming events.

Schools Work:

I joined Pete and Ben at Carisbrooke College on Monday to give out free juice to students at lunch time as part of AOK.

Listening Training:

We had the 3rd of 4 sessions of listening training.

Catalyst Weekend Away:

This weekend I am at Westbrook with YFC and lots of young people from all over the island for our 'Catalyst Weekend Away'. We're sharing lots of worship, games and fun and have lots of seminars lined up - I will be giving a seminar called "Now What?!" about God's plan for our lives.

Things to pray for:

- Catalyst Weekend Away this weekend.

- Good health for all of our Rock Solid leaders.

- Preparations for The Space.

- All the young people involved.
