There’ll be a worship evening on Friday 3rd July and a day conference on Saturday 4th July about passion purpose and power, encouraging young people how to be Godly guys and Godly gals.

If you loved Rock the Cathedral, you’ll be pleased to hear that the youth council are running an event on 12th September this year. Salt ‘n’ Light is a day (4-9pm) to encourage young Christians through workshops, prayer and worship. The Relentless Craving who were so popular at Rock the Cathedral are coming down to us again and the new line-up of Formal Affair will also be playing. Bishop David will also be joining us to share some wisdom.
ALM training
Do want to think more deeply about your role and how to understand children and young people and help them develop? Or do you want to know more about how teams work and how you might work with other young people in your local community? As part of the Authorised lay Ministry training starting in September, Emma Pettifer and I will be training those working with children and young people. See the enclosed flier and check out the diocesan pages for more details.
Latest resources
I’ve added a few things to our resource library since our last mailing:
In addition to the Mixing it up with The Simpsons book we now have season four of The Simpsons on DVD so you can borrow both and use the clips suggested in the book. We also now have The Miracle Maker not just on video but on DVD (3 copies). Another great new DVD resource for the diocese is called Talking About Prayer. This has over 20 short films addressing questions such as Why should we pray? What happens when we pray? And How do we pray? With wisdom from the likes of Beth and Matt Redman and R. T. Kendall. I’ve also invested in a few new books of games so as the summer sun breaks through, think about getting your young people outside! If you want some more inspiration for that why not take a look at the pages for those working with young people over at the Christians in Sport website for information about events, ideas for using sport as part of Bible Study and for free downloads.
We also now have a Playstation 2 with singstar and buzz. If you fancy trying out this resource with your youth group before investing in it for yourselves or if you just want a karaoke/quiz night as a one off, get in touch!
We now have the first few iCans. These are self-contained resource pots with everything you need to run a particular bible study, discussion, activity or worship session. Details of those now available and those that will be coming soon are on the separate flier. If you have any particular session you would like featured in these resources, please do get in touch.
