Welcome to 2012!!!
The start of the year is always exciting with all the new years’ resolutions, planning and the general unknown. There is no exception with Rising River Youth…
This Year:
- We will continue updating the Israel Tour Website.
- We are going to be doing the “Teens” edition of the Truth Project called TrueU.
- Paul and Sue will once again be helping us to grow in our Christian walks.
Don’t forget to join us this week Sunday for our annual Presentation at 9am in the Church!!!
As you may have noticed, the updates on the RRY site and the RRY Israel site have stopped rolling somewhat…correction, they’ve dug themselves a nice deep ditch and stopped altogether. My apologies for that; matric and all that seemed to have got in my way. However there is good news and bad news.
The bad first: After much prayer and debating I have made the decision to leave UUPC (and thus RRY) to get together with people of my own age group, which, I feel, will be the most beneficial to my own spiritual growth. The journey at UUPC has been amazing and I have grown a tremendous amount spiritually and otherwise in my time here, but I feel as I open the next chapter of my life, it is time to move on. Thanks for everything UUPC!
Now for the good: Obviously I won’t be contributing any more to both the RRY and the RRY IE site, but that job will be left in the very capable hands of Chris Fuller, all updates and the like will be authored by him in future! All the best Chris!
Building the RRY and RRY IE sites and running them has been a lot of fun! Thanks for all the comments and views (Mainly to the Tabernacle stuff) and I hope you found the Truth of Christ in everything we’ve done here. Look out for more frequent updates in the future from Chris, but from myself, Matt, God bless and thanks for the ride!
R&D for the RRY Israel Experience was again the order of the day for the youth today. I don’t need to say any more except this. CLICK HERE to find out what’s new with the Israel Experience!
As usual for all our outdoor trips, we send ‘em to their own “perma-page.” Click here or check the sidebar under “Our Pages” to check out our trip to the Coleby farm!
As many of our members aren’t here for RRY for the past few weeks so updates from the RRY Israel Tour have been temporarily put on hold, sorry! We’ll start updates soon as time and members allow.
As some of you might know, our youth leader, Alex, is heavily involved in an amazing prison ministry which reaches out to the hardened criminals and local inmates in our local jails with the message, love and Gospel of Jesus Christ.
From the feedback we’ve been getting the experience was life-changing for both the volunteers and the inmates, and to find out more about this ministry, click here.
Below some images of the team that took part in Kairos #10 which took place recently:
We’ve implemented a new slideshow system! It’s more dynamic, all you have to do is sit back and relax! Seeing an image saying “Slide(r)” and a progress bar is normal. When it reaches 100% the images will play. Enjoy!

I know the updates have all but stopped since February, but it’s been because we’ve been hard at work on the Israel Site. Granted, that hasn’t seen updates for the past few weeks either, but that’s my fault because I’ve been very busy–I’ll send the updates online as soon as I can, you can read the R&D development on the Israel site.

Apart from that, today is a very important day: Good Friday. The day that the Creator of the world, Jesus Christ, died so cruelly and painfully on the cross to wash away the sins of the world. The scriptures are pivotal, in fact the death and resurrection of Christ is the point which the entire Bible points to. We are truly humbled by God’s amazing grace and love for His creation. Reflect on today, take a look at this video:
Thanks to “jlokey82″ for the video.

Seeing as today was the once-monthly Communion service, we headed into the main Service. It wasn’t just Communion though, because 2 of our members were inducted into the Church’s eldership. It was a really special service and included our own SNAC band (yes, that’s us) to play “Go Light Your World.”
‘Cause n0 progress was made on the Israel Experience, you might like to hit the site and check out a latest video…
