Christmas break

Hello!

Last Wednesday it had been pouring down with rain but God was good and it seemed to ease off as the young people were arriving... although by that time all the leaders were pretty damp! It was great to be joined by Rachel and Liz this week.  Despite the weather we gave out 82 of the packs we had made up, admittedly at least one boy took about 3 but he did promise me he would read everything that was in it!!!

The young people were very happy to receive the packs, telling their friends who were coming up after them.  Some did end up on the floor but not much considering how many we gave out... and anyway that gives me a chance to use my new found tool for evangelism... the black sack! 

Please pray that God would really speak to the young people through the packs, whether it is through reading what was inside or just the fact the church made an effort to give them a small gift at Christmas time, pray that it would have an impact on their lives.

We are enjoying spreading these seeds of God into people's lives in the park, pray that by the Holy Spirit these seeds would start to grow.  We are open to God using us in this with more conversations at the Park with Youth Alpha and other church/youth activities at Alma.  But pray that God would continue to guide and give us wisdom in this.

We are now on our Christmas break and continue to pray that God would reveal himself through this special season and that the young people would have a great time and a great rest.

Thank you for your prayers
Merry Christmas!

Last one before Christmas!

Hi All,

It has been great over the last couple of weeks to have had Alex Penrose and Christine Warren join us!!

2 weeks ago was strangely quiet due to the strikes happening but it was nice to meet some young people we hadn't met before...although one we met used to go to 7UP and was saying how much he had loved it! It would be great to pray for him and his friends, for opportunities to get to know them a bit more. 

Last week was back to normal with a crowd queueing for hot chocolate and biscuits, unfortunately we ran out of hot water before everyone had had one again... I think I will invest in another flask!

This Sunday the team put together some Christmas packs, which include a Christmas card from Alma Church, some chocolates, a tract explaining the gospel and an invite to the Youth Alpha Course starting in January and a Pulse/7UP/Youth Church Leaflet!  These will be given out tomorrow to the young people coming for hot chocolate.  Please pray that these will be received well and that we would see some young people coming along to Youth Alpha or Pulse/7UP etc also pray that it wouldn't become a load of litter in the local area!

Please continue to pray for our name/face memory, for healthy relationships to continue to grow, for dry weather, for more people (particularly for some who are around during the university holidays) to be added to the team and for young people to come to know Jesus!

Thank you for your prayers! We are expecting the life changing power of Jesus!

God bless
