Youth Club restarts in 2011! Wii Games, board games, and candy. What else could you ask for?

TUESDAY:

Alpha Course in Girls’ Model. Noelle will be doing a monologue in her class this week about ‘Temptation’. Hmmm..scandalous!

WEDNESDAY:

Scripture Union in Hazelwood!

THURSDAY:

Life Groups! There are currently two life groups running. Ivan and Kathy lead the one that we are in (Holler!) and Jenine and Trev lead the other. Good times as we hang and talk about life with Jesus together.

FRIDAY:

Mums+Tots rocks Friday mornings. Noelle will serving up some tea with Jenine while Heather leads the kidz crafts and Jean and Lillian chat up with the ladies. No doubt about it, Olive will eat at least 2 dozen cookies during Mums+Tots and drink out everyone else’ juice bottles except her own.

Alpha Course on again in Girls’ Model. Will Troy try to attempt the ‘Temptations’ monologue? Hmmm… don’t think so.

NightWatch takes over Woodvale Park! Now there will be opportunities for kids to get prayer! Come for a cup of tea and have our team pray for you!

SATURDAY:

Day off! Did someone say Ulster Fry?

SUNDAY:

Church with the ROCK Community folk! Prepare to celebrate together the love we have found in Jesus Christ.

Rend! Our weekly worship and prayer gathering as we come together and seek Jesus for Belfast. If you have a prayer request, don’t be shy. Email Troy (emailrhodes@gmail) or Noelle (rhodes.noelle@gmail.com) and we will be happy to pass your prayer request along to the REND folk.

As you think of us, pray for us. These are just some of the activities that we are directly involved in. When we are not out and about, we are usually in the office shooting emails and administrating… or in Starbucks reading, learning and dreaming… or at home loving on our kids and probably doing so much needed laundry.

Hey! We care about YOU! Tell us, what’s happening in your week….
