Hello.

Hope you have had a good week. I've been busy this week which is always nice. Rock Solid has been really good this week and we're still seeing good numbers and mostly the same people each week, it's really encouraging.

Here's how the coming week is looking;
Wednesday-Castle Manor Christian lunch
Thursday-Rock Solid years 5 & 8, Parkway Middle
Meeting at Parkway Middle
Friday-Rock Solid yrs 6 & 7, Parkway Middle
Mudflaps.
Sunday-HSI Celebration service-West End Cong. Church 6pm-family worship to celebrate the work of HSI over the past 12 yrs.

I will be madly preparing for the Sunday evening. Please encourage people you know and your churches to come and support this service and to thank God in a time of praise.

Have a lovely weekend.

Hello,

I hope you have had a good bank holiday! Well it it now the end of half term and the last stretch of schools term is in front of me!

I had a great bank holiday, Simon and myself went up to Cliff College where I studied for two years to go to their Festival, we survived camping in the freezing weather and battering rain, but we had a great time going to seminars and worship events, and I have come back with some new ideas and feeling more inspired!

Over this half term as well as planning and preparing assemblies and clubs I have found time to do some reading, at present I'm reading 'Mission-shaped Youth, rethinking young people and church' by Tim Sudworth, it's a helpful book for someone in my job as I look at the place of young people in one culture and how to present church to them and get them involved!

So, on to this coming week...

Wednesday: Westfield Primary assembly-The story of Noah
Castle Manor-Christian Lunch
Thursday: Rock Solid yrs 5 & 8, Parkway Middle
Friday: Rock Solid yrs 6 & 7, Parkway Middle
Clare Middle assembly-Commitment
Mudflaps

Hello.

I am happily writing this with some sunshine...at long last! It has been a slightly quieter week with no Rock Solid but I have been into Clare giving the year 8's lessons so that's been good.

Please make a note of the change of date for the HSI Celebration service, it will now be on Sunday 24th June 2007, at 6 pm at West End Congregational Church! This will be a family friendly service so please put this date in your diaries and join us as we celebrate the years work, and the last 12 years of HSI!

Coming up this week;

Tuesday: Clare Middle, year 8 RE, Creation
Wednesday: Castle Manor Christian lunch
Thursday: Clare Middle, year 8 RE, Creation
Parkway Middle Rock Solid for years 5 & 8
Friday: Parkway Middle Rock Solid for years 6 & 7
Mudflaps.

Thank you for your continued support in prayer, please also remember those who are taking and preparing for exams at the moment and those who will be moving schools very son or leaving school.

This is the last week before half term holidays so I will be back with you in 2 weeks time, take care until then.

Hello.

Hopefully this time I can get this blog up on time!! After a crazily busy week I'm looking forward to having a lazy Saturday ready for a busy Sunday in Clare. On the last blog I didn't include preaching at Clare URC on Sunday morning so please pray for that.

We successfully split Rock Solid over two lunches this week, having nearly 30 on Thursday and about 40 today so the split didn't put too many off and we had plenty of new comers! Praise God.

This coming week is looking like this so far...

Tuesday: Year 8 RE on creation at Clare Middle.
Wednesday: Castle Manor Christian lunch.
Thursday: Year 8 RE on creation at Clare Middle.
Friday: Mudflaps.

There is no Rock Solid due to SATS, please remember the young people as they take these exams throughout next week.

I want to thank you for those of you who keep checking this regularly and remembering the work of HSI in your prayers, we value it so much. Remember to pass this web site on to anyone who may be interested!

Have a lovely weekend.

Hi. Sorry that there was no blog last week and that this didn’t go up on Friday it was a combination of illness followed by computer troubles!! However, been back with it this week and very busy. Two weeks ago we started Rock Solid at Parkway and were astonished to have over 40 kids in one classroom, to allow for more room last week we were in the gym…however we got nearly 80 kids there this week! How amazing! It’s become so big that we are splitting it up over 2 lunch times to accommodate everyone! Praise God!
Last week also saw the start of the Christian Union at Castle Manor which too was a good time to meet with some of the students and staff.

So this week looks a little like this…

Tuesday: Parkway Middle assembly to years 7 and 8…Big Questions.
Wednesday: Westfield Primary assembly.
Castle Manor Christian lunch
Thursday: Parkway Rock Solid years 5and 8
Friday: Parkway Rock Solid year 6 and 7
Mudflaps.
Sunday: Clare Baptist
