Junction 7 : [up] lift [ed]

Hey folks...guess what's coming back? 


JUNCTION 7!!!


Woop woop! It's gone through a bit of a refurb - and we're excited to kick off the new year of Junction 7-ness! Our first one will be Sunday, 25th October. We're calling it “J7 [up]lift[ed]“, and it will be happening on the 4th Sunday of every month in term time, from 7:30-9:15pm. And, we've got a new venue! Nexus! (71 Albany Road, Coventry)

It is hoped that this event will work to complement current church youth ministries across the City and create an atmosphere where young people feel free to engage with God and be equipped to live out a radical Godly lifestyle in front of their peers at home & in school.We basically want to help you guys build momentum in your relationships with God and others by providing space for worship, teaching, prayer - all aimed at helping YOU engage with God and the people around you.

If you want to get involved in anyway, we'd love to hear from you! Want to help lead something? Run powerpoint? Hoover? Carry things? Smile a lot? Help with videos? Anything you'd like, just let us know! 

(and keep an eye out for a new J7 video, showing on YouTube any day now...)

Some Mid-Week Fun :)

This Week...

Yesterday, we spent time in Blue Coat School with students as we all processed the death of Natalie Morton.

No, it doesn't make sense, and no, we don't have a clue why God would let something like this happen. All we know is that God loves us. He loved us on Sunday and Monday when we were happy and smiley, and He loved us yesterday as we wrestled with loss, sat with our friends, and cried. He loves us today, and we continue to question and to wonder how He can let someone so young and so precious slip away from us. He will love us tomorrow as we begin to look to the days to come, days that are now different because of the course this week has taken.

No, it doesn't make sense, and no, we don't know why God does what He does. But yes, we do know, maybe even more so now, that God loves us. He is with us. And for that we are grateful. God doesn't mind our questions, our confusion, even our anger. He only asks that we bring all those things to Him, and let Him put our minds and hearts to rest.

Continue to pray for Natalie's family, her friends at Blue Coat and at Meredith Road Baptist. Please know that we're here if you need to talk!

Confirmation Course :)

Today we start a confirmation course for those interested in being confirmed! We'll go through some of the basics of Christianity and tackle some big questions - then a Confirmation service will be held at the Cathedral on 21st November. If you're interested in being confirmed, have a chat with us or with David!

Cov Youth Camp!

So, it's been a little while since we've blogged, because we've been catching our breath after all the amazing summer things! There will be many posts to come :) Another thing we can tell you about is...Coventry Youth Camp!!!

Hooraaaaaaayyyyy! It was absolutely ace! Our theme this year was MINISTRY OF MISSION, and we looked at different aspects of this throughout the week. Around 100 campers and leaders headed to Oswestry Boarding School the last week of August, and we're pretty sure Oswestry will never be the same! This year we tried a few new things, like a HUNT THE LEADER afternoon in Oswestry town centre, and a MYSTERY NIGHT that resulted in leaders Greg, Dre, Josh and Angie dying (we promise no leaders were harmed in the making of Mystery Night!). We were challenged a whole bunch, and we're psyched about what life looks like now! Woop woop!

Spark in the Park!!!

Spark in the Park was this past week, and it ROCKED! We had a bunch of volunteers from Holy Trinity and tons from all over Coventry - woop woop! We had literally thousands of people join us for craft, sports, facepainting, inflatables and fun! We were open from 1:30-4:30pm, Monday through Saturday, and had a Family Fun Night (run by Josh and Dre!) on Wednesday evening, a Tournament Night on Thursday evening and the Spark's Got Talent show on Friday evening, co-hosted by Dre. It was absolutely amazing!

We want to say a HUGE thank you to those of you from HTC that came to help out - we were so encouraged by your willingness to volunteer with us on something we've put so much time into over the year. You were a gigantic blessing to us, and to the people you served. THANK YOU!!!

This is giggle worthy.

We watched this video, and it made us laugh so hard we cried. (Well, Dre laughed so hard she cried - the puffins are her favourite!)

Check with the parents before checking out YouTube :)

This post has no title.

We've been kind of quiet lately on the blog, and many apologies for that! We've had our fair share of difficulties over the last couple weeks, and we'd very much appreciate your prayers! We're kicking into high gear with Spark in the Park and Coventry Youth Camp preparations, and sometimes it all gets a bit much - which is when we take a deep breath, sit back in our chairs and watch something like this to keep us smiling...

As always, check with your parents before venturing into the world of YouTube!
