Summer Camps for Young People

Are you wanting to take/send your young people on a camp where they will be challenged and refreshed this summer?

Here are a couple of ideas for local and more national Christian camps...

Summer Madness, (Suffolk Christian Camps) at Sizewell Hall camp site, Leiston Suffolk.

For school years 10-13 (14 to 19 year old).

9th-16th August 2008.

Summer Madness aims to give every young person a fun holiday. It also tries to support and encourage the young Christians who attend whilst sharing the message of Christianity with those who are not yet Christians.

(I can recommend this camp having been as a young person and as a leader)

Soul Survivor

Week A- Stafford Show ground, 25th-29th July 2008

Week B-Bath and West Show ground, 11th-15th August 2008

Monday 17th-Thrsday 20th March 2008

Hello.

My apologies for the lack of posts, I have had no Internet access.

We have been thrust into Easter lessons and this week we have had 4 lessons with year 5's at Chalkstone, 2 lessons with yr 5's at parkway and an assembly and Rock Solid all looking into the Easter story. It has been a great opportunity to share the true meaning of Easter, and having a captivated group at Rock Solid as we talked about the power of the cross was amazing.

This week coming is the last week before the Easter holiday's. Here's what's happening:

Tuesday: Parkway Middle yr8 assembly-Easter

Wednesday: Samuel Ward RE Conference Day

Clare Middle KS2 and KS3 assemblies-Easter

Thursday: Parkway Middle afternoon.

Please continue to pray for the young people over the Easter break that they may stay safe and that they know what Easter is really about.

Have a wonderful Easter.

'Breakout' event February 2008

Monday 3rd to Friday 7th March 2008

Hello.

It's been a good week, had some good meetings and had some fun in school...and the week doesn't feel over quite yet. Tonight is the long awaited Breakout event for middle school aged pupils. Come along and enjoy inflatable twister, playstation games, the cafe and 'Collective'. Tickets on the door at £2, doors open at 7.30 and close at 10pm.

If you are wanting to catch up with the work of HSI I will be speaking at SOMA tomorrow night at Haverhill Methodist Church which starts at 7pm, find out more of what we do and how you can get involved.

Just to also plug the website, check out the new website at www.haverhillschoolsinitiative.org.uk it is a work in progress and it will be growing over the coming weeks, you can also access this blog from the site. we'd appreciate any comments and ideas as to how we can improve it.

Next week is a quieter week but with plenty of planning for Easter.

Please pray for Rock Solid on Thursday and Friday and Mudflaps in Friday also.

Please also pray for the general running of HSI, that our finances can grow so that more workers could be employed for the growing work, and that greater opportunities will arise in the schools.

Pray that we may seek God's will in all we do as we look forward to the vision for HSI and that our passion will keep burning strong.

Have a great week, hope to see some of you at SOMA.
