An insight into what I get up to as the YTP student in Gunville

What happened this week at Gunville Methodist Church:

Rock Solid:

Exciting things are happening at Gunville Rock Solid! This week we had two new members, and the promise of another next week so we're now up to 7! This week we thought about lent and sacrifice and we made some pancakes.

The Space

The Space - our new free youth cafe, opened for the first time this week with lots of lovely cakes. We had a group of young people from Cowes come along and we had fun chatting and playing a card game called Dobble.

We'll be needing more cakes on Wednesday, so get your aprons out!

You may have noticed (if you were REALLY observant!) that I was preaching in church this morning. This is mainly because I enjoy the opportunity to bring the word of God to you, (and I love to talk!) but also was an assessment for my course at Moorlands.

At Moorlands this week:

We had a brilliant guest lecturer who taught us a method of reading the bible called 'inductive bible study'. We also had a lecture on the Old Testament and I got another essay back with a good grade.

With Youth for Christ this week:

Catalyst:

We ran Catalyst on Friday evening for young people from across the island. The theme was sex and relationships and we spent time worshiping God together too.

Schools Work: 

We went into Christ the King for Friday Lunch Club. We spent time chatting with young people and building relationships and I took the opportunity to advertise The Space and Rock Solid.

Things to pray for:

- Thank God that Rock Solid is starting to grow and pray that it will continue to go well.

- Pray that we get some more young people coming along to The Space.
