An insight into what I get up to as the YTP student in Gunville
At Gunville Methodist Church this week:
- Rock Solid:
We're now up to 4 times the numbers that we started with at Rock Solid! Last week Kristy and Paul did an amazing job running Rock Solid whilst I was away, with a theme around Mother's Day. This week we looked at Easter and we even had an egg hunt!
- The Space:
A small miracle happened at The Space this week when we welcomed 8 new people into the cafe for cake, hot chocolate and card games!
- Rising Tide:
This morning in Rising Tide we're studying the story of Jesus healing Baritmaeus' sight and we're talking about Jesus' authority in different situations.
Moorlands:
You may have noticed that I wasn't around last week - this is because I had a 'block week' at Moorlands. We spent the whole week covering World Religions and Church history, including field trips to a Synagogue and Christchurch Priory, and a day of assessed group presentations.
Moorlands have now broken up for Easter so I will go back on the 29th.
With Youth for Christ this week:
- AOK
AOK stands for Acts of Kindness - we go into Carisbrooke College to hand out free juice to the students at lunch time.
- Team meeting and Prayer Breakfast
The YFC team met up on Monday and split into groups to do a bit of prayer walking around Newport before out weekly meeting.
- Vibe
Vibe is our most 'open' youth event. We aim to make it an event that is easy to bring non christian friends to, so it has a few games, a cafe bar serving milkshakes and other treats and a relaxed atmosphere with a very simple message. This term's Vibe was themed around Easter.
Duke of Edinburgh:
The young people at DofE practiced their camp craft this week with a 'camp cooking competition'. This afternoon (Sunday) we'll be taking the out for their first day walk.
WAYS TO GET INVOLVED:
- Car Wash
Come along on Tuesday between 4pm-6pm to have your car washed by young people from Rock Solid in aid of Smile Uganda Charity, or come and lend a hand doing the washing! - RS Quest
We need another leader to join Gunville Rock Solid on the 10th May at RS Quest at the Westbrook Centre in Ryde and will possibly be needing some transport. - The Space
The Space will be back after Easter on the 23rd April and we will be needing some cakes, cookies, brownies or any other baked treats.
Things to pray for:
- Thank God for continued growth at Rock Solid, and for such a breakthrough at The Space.
- Pray for all the young people over the next couple of weeks as usual activities are not running over Easter.
- Pray for the Car Wash on Tuesday - that it goes really well and raises lots of money.
- Pray for me as I travel home for Easter.
