Deeper/Even Deeper

Deeper has started up again. Numbers are down but some young people are still on holiday. The leadership of Deeper had a meeting about what our role is in Deeper / Even Deeper, also what we thought God wanted for Deeper. So we asked the kids what subjects and food they wanted! They said they wanted to talk about sex/relationships, swearing, angels, death and after life.

Even Deeper starts on tuesday the 13th, Since it started we have struggled to find a format but this year we are going to study the Gospel of John

Footie and Faith - I know what your thinking another home group? but wait I am hoping to have Footie and Faith every other week, for a block of 6 sessions. What will hopefuly happen is half an hour of discussion about faith and an hour playing footie at the polysport.

Please pray for all these home groups

Thank you!!!!

Boulder Gang and Rock Solid Crew!!!

Happy 2009 to everyone from all of us at Boulder Gang and Rock Solid Crew! We had an amazing time on the lead up to Christmas learning about Jesus and the amazing things he did. On average we had approx 20 kids each week come along for mad messy games, amazing prizes, cool worship, crazy dancing and above all to experience more of God in a real way.

To cap it all off 22 kids came along to our fab Christmas party on 11th December with party games, yummy food and even a special visit from Santa Ste!

Special thanks again to our amazing helpers - Mary, Karen and Kerry! We love you!

Please pray for Boulder Gang and Rock Solid Crew - for each child to experience God in a life transforming way! Please pray for the leaders, Julie and Stephen, for wisdom and strength, to seek Gods will for the way forward.

Look out for dates of when the groups restart.......see you soon!!!!!!

Stepping Stones

A Very Happy New Year from the Stepping Stones Team! We had an amazing time leading up to Christmas sharing the Christmas story with the little ones who come along. Numbers continue to grow and we are realle encouraged by positive feedback from parents too! The finale to a very busy and hectic block took place on 8th December with a special "Cre8 4 Christmas". The children had a great time making christmas candle holders, snowmen wooden spoons, snowstorms and windchimes. We had tasty christmas treats and told the christmas story with lots of actions and sound affects! For the Mums, an hour and a half of rest and relaxation with mulled wine, mince pies and beautiful beaded decorations to make! Some mums even chose to join with the kids session.

January, for the team, is a time for reflection and seeking Gods Will for the future of Stepping Stones. We have already had many enquiries as to when the group restarts and we really look forward to rejoining with the little ones to have great fun sharing Gods word and worshipping him! Please pray for Julie and Stephen as they plan the next session and look at new ways of encouraging unchurched families to explore with us a new way of being church. Please pray for each child who comes along, that they will meet with Jesus and know him as their saviour and friend.
