WEDNESDAY 27TH AUGUST & 3RD SEPTEMBER AT 7.30PM

“GOING DEEPER” EVENINGS led by the Heart-cry Team and some of their friends

As levels of expectation of God are arising round the world, we wanted to respond by facilitating evenings of worship and prayer.  To call out to God for increased expressions of His Kingdom life to be evident among us.  To call for what He has in store for Wales, for the transformation of our communities and nation.  To this end we have arranged evenings of worship & prayer through most of August.  These evenings will be informal gatherings

JOB VACANCY – SESSIONAL YOUTH WORKER

Bethel Presbyterian Church, Garden Village, Wrexham

Duties include:

Attending, supervising and organising two groups on a Thursday night, term time. The first group is for juniors aged approximately 7 ‑ 11 between 6 and 7.15 p.m.; the second group is for senior club aged 11+ and meeting between 7.30 and 9 p.m.

You will need to arrive 15 minutes before the junior session and leave 15 minutes after the close of the senior session or when all members of the club have left the premises.

You will need to prepare materials, speakers and activities for the two group sessions. You will have adult helpers but they will not be the same ones consistently.

The activities, whilst needing to be stimulating and enjoyable, must take into account Christian values and all sessions should be clearly imbued with this by having a short prayer, 'thought for the day’ aspect etc.

A small group of Church members and elders will discuss your programme with you and organise your adult support helpers.

You need to complete a CRB check as soon as possible through the Presbyterian Church.

Payment will be on a 41/2‑hour evening basis, taking account of attendance and preparation time. The payment will be by negotiation.

Any additional expenditure will be repaid on presentation of receipts. This may include drinks and biscuits, paper etc. In many cases the Church will provide these.

There are usually about 10 - 15 youngsters at each group session. They are friendly exuberant and enjoy attending. At times you will need to discipline them with firmness, friendliness and respect.

In the case of activities taking place off the Church premises, you will need to obtain the written consent of their parents to attend the activity planned.

Knowledge of basic first aid would be useful.

AWESOME!      http://www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ee73e63418003b47d7d5

 

A skit performed at the 2006 annual Smoky Mountain Winterfest event held every year near Gatlinburg, Tenn., has taken the video websites YouTube and GodTube by storm.  The skit depicts a soul straying and desperately returning to Christ after being caught up by the sins of sexual impurity, the party lifestyle, bulimia, self-mutilation and deception that leads toward suicide.  Christ, with loving power, fights the darkness and rescues the young woman out of her bondage.  Written by mission director Tim Houston from Baltimore, Md., the video communicates the message that we don’t have to be lost without hope in our sins, separated from Christ.  The authenticity of that
hope has drawn more than 3 million views of the video on GodTube and more than 1 million on YouTube.  Winterfest staff has received e-mails reporting people receiving Christ and healing as a result of watching the video.  Youth leaders nationwide have requested copies of the DVD in order to teach the skit to their drama teams to use in other ministry venues.

To view the video, click on the link above or log onto www.youtube.com and search “Lifehouse skit.”

The video may also be viewed on www.GodTube.com.

IN TRANSIT - STOPPING THE TRADE IN PEOPLE

Join BMS World Mission's In transit campaign against human trafficking, and support evangelical Christians in Albania as they work to combat the issue

The trade of people for exploitation - commonly known as human trafficking - is the fastest growing means by which people are caught in the trap of slavery today

Albania is primarily a country of origin for trafficking, with two-thirds sent to either Greece and Italy, and 1 in 50 reaching the UK

Send an e-card (available on the website) in support of the campaign - encourage your friends and family to do the same

Get lots of good resources (from the website) to help you and your church engage deeper with this issue
