Are up in the facebook group now!

Was going to be the DaVinci code night. But I'm not sure this is going to go too well, so I'm going to change things.

So current plan is to cover something on the book of Numbers and spend a bit of time talking about post summer.

Any comments, leave 'em here!

1. Always leave the room tidy
2. No talking over each other
3. Always take shoes off when entering room
4. Clean room every month (straw draw)
5. Respect each other
6. Be here to start at 7:30pm
7. Have fun
8. Relate to faith
9. Support each other
10. 1 Timothy 4:12
11. 1 Thessalonians 5:12

Also known as the rules for us all to abide by as written by you all!

This is the agreed schedule up to the summer break and an indication of leaders. Note the one change on Wed 25th!

Wed 18th June : R, S, J : Book of Bible (tbc), prep'd by Jason
Wed 25th : R, S, J : Gala banner and outdoor games
Wed 2nd July : R, S, J : Harry Potter Night, prep'd by Jason
Wed 9th : S : Talent Night prep
Wed 16th : S, J : Divinci Code night
Wed 23rd : R, S, J : Fun night (favourite - Go Karting)

J = Jason
S = Simon
R = Ruth
Y = Yvette

Couple of nights we'll need to source a female lead if Yvette is unavailable, Wed 9th and Wed 16th.

Final trip to sort out the room.

IKEA

This is the chance for us to get things to finish the room. Then we're back down to business until Easter.

Be there at SEVEN pm, we must leave the centre at 7:05pm no later!

Review from the GROUP on the first of the Lent sessions

- general feeling that it wasn't really designed for teenagers

- feeling on the CD was that although it helped having real comment from real people (as oppose to one person doing the commentary) it was too long and would have been better in chunks.
- Would have preferred a mix of CD then questions.

N.B. we will try this next week, by splitting the CD part up and asking the question in between

- The discussion was enjoyed, although generally the material would have been better if it was a little more interactive rather than listen and then discuss

N.B. we did add some interactive elements to the questions to help facilitate the discussions (we expanded on Q5 using a separate exercise)

OK, starting this week we're going to do the Lent course that the rest of the Church is covering.

As last year I don't think it'll take two hours but I want to blog a review at the end. So format for the next few weeks will be :

1) Lent Course - 45mins approx
2) Room work - 45min approx
3) Review - 15 mins

I want us to be pretty honest about the course as it's good feedback for the Church on what we think of the material.

The course is about



and it'll take us through to Easter (or maybe the first week after Easter unless we double up one week)

See you Wednesday!
