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

At Gunville Methodist Church this week:

• Rock Solid:

We had 2 more new girls at Rock Solid this week! We thought about listening to each other and to God. Kristy led a brilliant session making prayer diaries and we also played some games in which everyone had to listen to each other.

• The Space:

We opened up the doors at The Space again this week and I ventured up the road with a tray of free cakes to advertise more free cakes and hot chocolate in the warmth of 'The Space'. 

• Rising Tide:

This morning at Rising Tide we have been looking at Rahab and the spies. We made bracelets to remind us of the red cord and to remind us to help people who are doing good.

At Moorlands this week:

We gave group presentations on the social and cultural background of a given verse. My group had the book of James. We also had lectures on Old Testament in which we started to go into some depth about creation and the fall. I've been working on another essay this week on the book of Exodus.

With Youth for Christ this week:

• Schools Work: 

We went into Christ the King College for lunch club on Friday where we led some games during lunch time.

• Renovations:

Some of the guys from YFC stripped the carpet out of our meeting room at Bethany so that we can start renovations on it.

With DofE this week:

We put together a programme for this half term. The young people are looking forward to more team building activities and a ''Camping Masterchef' night, but they don't seem as excited about the map work and route planning. 

And the boring bits...

I've been working on another essay, attended several meetings and done lots of planning and paperwork!

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.
