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

At Gunville Methodist Church:

• Rock Solid:
  Rock Solid was brilliant this week, we had lots of fun with parachute games, human play-doh and crazy relay races involving bed sheets(!), and everyone got so engaged in a discussion about identity that we didn't even have time for our last activity!

• The Space:
  Unfortunately it was raining during The Space this week so we didn't have any takers for cake and hot chocolate because everyone wanted to get home and change out of their wet school uniform.

• Rising Tide:
  In Rising Tide this week we'll be thinking about the responisibility and mission that we have as Christians.

Moorlands:
I've almost finished my current essay for Moorlands which is due to be handed in on Tuesday. We had lectures this week on Hermeneutics and on the Old Testament.

With Youth For Christ

• Team Meeting
  Because we didn't have a meeting on Monday, we met on Thursday to plan Rock Solid Weekend Away.
• Lunch Club
  We went into Christ the King on Friday for lunch club. As it was raining we couldn't run any games so we just spent some time chatting to young people whilst they were eating their lunch.

• Emerge
  Emerge is our most 'in depth' youth event. We moved it into a different room this week which is much smaller than usual which gave it a very different feel. We shared in some sung worship together and Simon gave a talk on freedom.

Duke of Edinburgh:

Before Easter we took the young people from DofE on their first day walk, so this week we reviewed how it went and put a programme together for this term - everyone agreed that we need to do a lot more work on navigation and map and compass skills!

WAYS TO GET INVOLVED:

• We need another leader to join Gunville Rock Solid on the 10th May at RS Quest at the Westbrook Centre in Ryde.

• If you'd like to be involved in baking or providing cakes for The Space please let me know or sign up on the sign up sheet in the church.
• If you'd like to be involved in helping at Rock Solid, Rising Tide or The Space, or if you have another idea, please contact me.

Things to pray for:

• Thank God for all of the girls at Rock Solid and pray that they will continue to learn and grow.
• Pray for The Space and for guidance on how best to move forwards.
