Deeper/ Even Deeper

Deeper

Deeper had finished for a couple of weeks over easter holidays which didnt go down well with the young people as they wanted it on over the hols! We have been talking about why we should read our bibles and self control, numbers are up to 12 with some regulars missing. Deeper leaders have been planning the next 6 weeks of subjects etc. Lighter nights mean we can go out in the garden and do games outside!

Even Deeper

For the past month Even Deeper has been very low on numbers we have had noone coming, but i think its down to light nights and other commitments.

Boulder Gang/Rock Solid Crew

Boulder Gang and Rock Solid Crew restarts Thursday 14th May!

The last block finished on 12the March and it was really encouraging to see steady numbers of young people coming along each week and some new ones too! We used material from Energize which focussed on themes like friends, family, worry, anger, and love. We used some crafts and did some creative prayer which the children engaged with really well. After the block finished we held a DVD evening which was a massive success with both groups together. We watched "Open Season 2" on the big screen in the No8 and enjoyed hotdogs and popcorn! Great Fun! Can't wait till the next one... The following week we decided to meet altogether again with both groups and had a games evening and prize bingo! Again this was brilliant fun and definitely something we will repeat! We feel as a team its just as valuable to have informal fun times being church together, particularly when we can be together as a whole kids church as it is running specific groups. Please continue to pray for this work and each young person who comes along and also for their families. Please also pray for the team - for Julie and Ste as they seek Gods will for the way forward with kids church in Newcastleton, for wisdom and that they use their time wisely. Please also pray for Mary as she waits to go into hospital for an operation on her gallbladder.

Stepping Stones

Stepping Stones restarts Monday 18th May! Our last block went really well. After the normal 6 weeks had finished we had an informal drop in week where the Stepping Stones team met with the mums and children and had coffee and cakes. It was a great way to maintain and develop the relationships being built between the grafted team and the families that come along. It was great to see so many there! The week after we had planned to have a picnic lunch together but due to wet weather we had an indoor picnic in the No8 club. Again it was great to see a large number there and we had a lovely time chatting with the mums and children. Our Easter Eggstravaganza took place on Monday 6th April where we took part in lots of easter crafts, made easter egg nest cakes and had an egg hunt! With help from Mario our puppet we told the easter story and were really encouraged that most of the mums came into hear it!

Sadly, Mary, our key volunteer has been in hospital with gallstones and inflamation of the gallbladder so has been out of action for the last few weeks. We miss her terribly - please pray for her recovery.

Our final block before the school holidays in June starts 18th May and hopefully if the weather is nice we will be able to do lots outdoors.

Please continue to pray for the team and for each family that come along.
