Spree 2011

by Colin Dexter

An amazing and unforgettable weekend for your youth group this summer!

If you’re looking for an action-parked weekend which will be a cracking end to your school year, then look no further than SPREE. SPREE offers a fast and furious programme of brilliant activities that you’ll absolutely love, plus an inspirational spiritual programme where you can explore the Christian faith. Then there’s the famous Friday night BBQ, the joy of camping (with some exceptions!) and the opportunity to compete against other youth groups in a whole host of fun tournaments throughout the weekend. All in all, you’ll be booking your place for 2012 before your 2011 weekend is done!

Pray for the group going to Llanelli this w/e 1st to 3rd July

Soul Survivor Summer 2010

by Colin Dexter

There were two Soul survivor events in Somerset & Stafford with 25,000 young people attending in total. It was amazing to see so many young people worshipping God, meeting with Him, being equipped & encouraged in their faith and leaving with with a passion to live their whole lives for him.

New Flame Logo (and a small request)

by Colin Dexter

 

New logo

New Flame Logo

We are looking for some thoughts on the new logo for flame. It incorprates all that we do at flame, looking up, learning about ourselves, getting new ideas, being excited about them, asking questions, and letting the answers effect the way we treat other people! 

Hope you like it. Let us know! 

Just so you know, Flame will be expanding rapidly around June time, so if you could spare an hour on a thursday evening from 6-7 we would really appreciate some help! This could range from standing and watching, through making squash to leading a small group in a short study (all written out for you!) It looks like we could have around 16 young people so three leaders really isn’t enough! Please speak to me if you could help in any way! Thank you!

The group with a new name!

by Colin Dexter

Well… I know you have all been eagerly anticipating the naming of the Thursday youth group and I am pleased to inform you that we have finally setlled on one…

Drum roll please……………………………..

We can now be refered to as ‘Flame!’

The astute among you will notice that we have gone for a grown up Spark/Sparx!!!!

I do not know why it took us so long, but the girls have all agreed that this is a good name!

We hope you approve. If you don’t, please tell the girls so they can argue their case, also so you can see the sadness in their eyes rather than tears in mine! My guess is that you will be much less likely to risk upsetting a child, and therefore will keep your opinion to yourself! lol

Anyway, it is getting late. More details will follow!

Thanks for your prayers for the group, please keep them up!

A storm brewing in Sparx

by
The Sparx group started back a few weeks ago and there was trouble brewing already. Well not quite! The children covered the story of Jesus claming the storm and created some wonderful pictures of it.

We hope you like them. We think the children have done a great job and they also really enjoyed making the pictures.

Thursday group is back… still looking for a name!

by Colin Dexter

A very wise person once told me to ‘start from the very beginning, it’s a very good place to start!’
Ok, it was Maria in the sound of music, and she wasn’t really telling me, but seven strangely attentive and responsive children, but we can pretend!

Yesterday we held the first youth group of the year, and I think it was enjoyed by all. We started at the very beginning of time, and managed to fit seven days in to one hour session. We talked about creation, and they created the world. I thought you might like to see what we made… here it is…

If you are in year 6/7/8 please come along to the TLC on a Thursday evening at 6 til 7. It would be great to see you there.

Also, if you are free on a Thursday between 5.45 and 7.15 and would like to help out please let me know!
