September 08-New term

Hello,

And welcome back after a long, wet Summer holidays. Schools are back now in full flow and I have returned also, though this week I am doing a week study towards my Ma at Cliff College on Mission and Evangelism.

The summer has proved to be an interesting time to rest and reflect on the work I have been doing with HSI and how this new school year may bring new challenges and opportunity. With more work happening there are more opportunities to volunteer with us, we have many opportunities from day time in schools or to reaching out to the young people on the fringes of church.

We have now moved offices; we thank Samuel Ward for their kindness but thank Haverhill Methodist Church for providing us with office space in ‘Next Door’ where you will now find us.

This term has many of the usual things in store for us, Rock Solid at Parkway, Breakout (31st October), CafĂ© Vibe and we are soon to launch Rock Solid on Monday evening’s in the Chalkstone Community Centre. This will be similar to the RS group in Parkway but bigger, it will run for longer giving space to build relationships as we have a tuck shop and computer games before group discussion, talks and group games. This will be for Middle school age and be free of charge, more information to follow. If you want more information or would like to go on the rota to help please e-mail or phone us.

Please pray for the young people as they settle back in to school, for some a new school, pray also for the teachers for energy and enthusiasm. Also pray for us at HSI that we may be a fundamental part in the schools of Haverhill and Clare to be a witness of Christ’s love.
