SUN 25TH SEPT – WHAT’S HAPPENING…
This Sunday, 25th Sept, there will not be a YF program after church…BUT…we are going to say that YF is at 6:30pm – evening church – Parksey is leading worship (no doubt picking great tunes to help us engage with God) and we will also be showing a video from the Youth Weekend and asking Rachael Scott and Lois Parkes some questions about what went on!
So, 6:30pm this Sunday – be there!!

What to bring (in addition to the obvious!):
- raincoat
- towel (obvious for most people!)

Don’t bring:
- any bedding!! All bedding is supplied!
YOUTH WEEKEND (AND YF BACK ON!) – *PLEASE READ CAREFULLY*
After a busy but amazing summer, our annual Youth Weekend has crept up on us! The form for the weekend is available on this website (Parents page). I have also put a direct link to the form below which can be printed off – over 18′s as well as under 18′s MUST have this fully completed and returned by Sunday 11th September. I know this doesn’t leave much time…apologies!
The form requires some details. Here is what you need to fill in:
Organisation: Radiant Youth
Details of trip/outing/activity: Youth Weekend to Mill Rest Youth Hostel, Bushmills.
Date: Fri 16th Sept – Sun 18th Sept
Time: Depart 18:15pm Friday 16th
Method of Transport: Cars (bus if required)
Cost: £45 per person, £85 for two in family, £120 for three in family
Collection Arrangements: 17:00pm at Church on Sunday 18th
(Note: the price includes accommodation and all food for the weekend (except for a carryout one evening – money will be required for that). Saturday afternoon activities are not included in this price. Plans for that are yet to be confirmed but a wee bit of spending money would be recommended – £10 in total for the weekend should be well enough!)
YF will be back on this Sunday – if you want to go on the weekend it would be advisable to be there! As usual, weekend places will be allocated on a first come first served basis – no exceptions!
This will be a great way to kick off a new year within our youth ministry at Woodlands. I’m sure it’s going to be brilliant as usual…I really hope you can make plans to be there.
Thanks

Sunnylands Summer Scheme – message from Sami
THE FOLLOWING IS FROM SAMI CULLEN WHO IS COORDINATING THE SUMMER SCHEME AT SUNNYLANDS YOUTH CENTRE. THIS MESSAGE IS FROM TUES 20TH JULY:
Sunnylands Summer Scheme has well and truly started! Our first day was yesterday and we started with 34 young people aged 7-13 attending. Today we had 46 young people through our doors! So far the atmosphere has been good, the young people have had a chance to play basketball, play unihoc, try gardening, make finger puppets and have a first trip to Carnfunnock, just to name a few….It has been encouraging to see young people build friendships and open up to each other. I am grateful for a team of Staff Volunteers who are committed to making Summer Scheme 2011 the best it can be. Thinking about you guys at New Horizon. Enjoy it, be blessed and enjoy the banter!
Over and out.
Sami
An update from the New Horizon team will follow soon!

STUART ON HOLIDAY!
As of tomorrow (Wednesday 22nd June), I am off on holiday for a couple of weeks (in case anyone is looking for me!) before the craziness of summer kicks in. And what a summer it is going to be.
This Wednesday Drop In will be on as usual. 19-25 cell group is on as usual.
Please make sure you keep coming along to church through the summer – would be great if as many young people as possible are there each week. And please remember to pray for: New Horizon Team (16-22 July), Sandy Row Team (31 July-5 Aug) and Spark Summer Week (16-19 Aug).
See you all when we’re home
