Monday 15-Friday 19 September 08
Hello.
I am just about finishing at Cliff College for the week, we have been studying Mission and Evangelism with a focus on the Kingdom of God. It has been a fascinating week, being able to theologise what it means to be working in and for the Kingdom of God, what it means to reflect that in my life and work. It has been a good week to start a new term of work!
Considering this has been topic of thought, I have found these song lyrics by Tim Hughes from the album 'Holding Nothing Back', I would like to encourage you to read these words and use them as your prayer, and as the prayer for HSI;
What good is it to gain the whole world, but lose your soul?
What good is it to make a sweet sound, but remain proud?
In view of God’s mercy, I offer my all
And take my life, let it be everything, all of me
Here I am, use me for Your glory
In everything I say and do, let my life honor You
Here I am living for Your glory
The road I’m on that leads nowhere without You
And the life I live that finds meaning and surrender
In view of God’s mercy, I offer my all
Seeking first the Kingdom
Seeking first the Kingdom of my Lord
With that as our prayer this week here is our what I will be doing, please pray as I return to 'normality' of work and seek to contact schools.
Monday: Exec Meeting
Wednesday: Council of reference Meeting
Thursday: Hope Prayer Meeting
Rock Solid, Parkway Middle
Friday: Rock Solid, Parkway Middle

Have a great week.

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), Café 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.
