Winter

A lot has happened since the last blog!

Rock Solid is still going really well. We always have a lot of fun with games and other activities and we've learnt about all kinds of things. Its great to see the girls encouraging each other and working together when we set them challenges.

TOAST is now the official name of our Kids Club. Its stands for "Tuesdays Of A School Term". We continue to have lots of fun, stories and toast there too! At our most recent club we learnt how to do some balloon modelling which was a lot of fun, and we heard about a story from the bible in which a man got lowered through someone's roof on a stretcher to get to Jesus, and then Jesus healed him and forgave his sins!

 Clusters has been postponed for a while but we hope to get it going again soon.

At YFC we've had Catalyst and Vibe - both island wide events but quite different from each other. Catalyst is an accessible worship evening for young people with a relevant talk and Vibe is a fun evening packed full of activities and madness!

Just before Christmas we ran an AOK cafe in a local secondary school where we made hot chocolate for all the students who wanted some (about 150 in the space of half an hour!).

YFC have also been away as a team. We spent a week in Manchester for the annual National YFC Conference. We all heard some great talks and seminars and enjoyed spending the week together, learning a lot and getting closer to God. Some of us also went up to Birmingham to take part in some mentoring training. 

We've had a block week at Moorlands and now just have a couple of weeks of lectures left until the end of term so we're working on our mid-year portfolio submissions.

I've recently started a 6 week programme in a local primary school called 'Bible Explorer' where we teach whole of the Old or New Testament in a really interactive way.
