Coming up this week... 

This isn't so much as a update about what is happening this week (as there isn't much). It's more a list of things you need to know in advance...



Consent forms!
We have got a new policy when it comes to consent forms (how exciting I hear you cry!). Basically we are getting a bit stricter and people will only be allowed to come for 1 week to any group without a form. After that, unfortunately, we will have to turn people away who haven't given one in. Our forms are actually being rewritten at the moment but they will be available to downloaded by Wednesday from here: 

 Consent forms

So, you are feeling super organised you can fill them out and bring them to the first week back! 

Facebook...
Because of a change of policy I (Olly) have to create a new Facebook account to connect with anyone who is under 18 or still at school. That means that this week, if I am friends with you on Facebook, you will get a 'friend request' from someone called 'Olly Shaw (youth worker)'. Don't worry, it really is me, not someone who will ask you to send money for a train fare because I'm stuck in the Isle of Skye and have had all my things stolen (unless, by some unfortunate twist of fate I really do get stuck in the Isle of Skye, but in that case I will use the code word "Chicken Teddy" so you will know it is me). 

Please do accept as after a couple of weeks I will have to delete everyone from the old one (even if they haven't accepted the request form the new one.)  


Cell Groups 
Most cell groups will be starting back the week beginning the 19th September, at their usual times and usual places (unless you hear otherwise from your leaders). 

 For the new year 7 cell we will be getting in touch with you (or your parents) to find out a time and a day that works best for everyone, so keep an eye out for that. 


Friday Pathfinders
The first Friday Pathfinders (older and younger) will be starting back on Friday 22nd September with some Epic Ice Breaker Games (like Ice Breaker Games only epicer) 




Sunday Pathfinders/CYFA 
This Sunday is Morey's last Sunday :'( so we are having a goodbye service for him. Because of that everyone will be staying in church and we won't have any CYFA or Pathfinders. 

If you see Morey on Sunday, make sure you remind him who grew the better moustache

Wow, what a summer! Soul Survivor was, as it always is, amazing this year. If you were at St. Leonard's on the 7th September you will have heard all about it, but for those of you who weren't: We took 30 young people and 4 leaders with us this year and were joined by a group from Leicester. So all told we had group of 45. Which looked pretty good when we were all in fancy dress. But more than that, it was amazing to see how much God moved people along in their faith, simply because they set aside some time to focus on Him. What was also amazing was that a pretty incredible new brother of mine gave his life to God that week; it is has been brilliant to see what God has been doing in him since. Here is a little photo montage to give you a taste of what it was like:  After that we were straight back into the normal running of things for September. Cell groups have been running the 'It's Time' materials suggested by Open Doors, CYFA are looking at what

That's right people........Dobbo has arrived! (Don't all cheer at once) Cell Groups  Cell groups are returning this week after a refreshing half term. Years 7, 8, 9, 10,11 and 13 will be doing a session on drugs and alcohol.
