What Went Down–31 October

My apologies again for the lack of updates: exams have kept me busy…I know it’s not an excuse so here come the updates rolling from 3 weeks back (tsk tsk, I hear you saying).

Today was the Shalom day…small problem though..I was feeling lousy so everyone else went to Angus Buchan’s church without me (sob). What i can tell you from what they’ve told me from the experience is that is was an amazing service, with their own youth band being the worship team for the main service. What Alex said was the most amazing was that a church led by the man who managed to get over 300 000 men to his Mighty Men Conference has a very cozy and intimate regular service, led on this occasion by the youth leader, which gave Alex an opportunity to find out how other youths do their thing!

The one hopeful thing is that Alex is definitely wanting to go again so that might mean I’ll be able to join second time round!

 

What Went Down–2 May 2010

After the sessions meeting and the AGM, we’re happy to say that things are finally moving along at RRY, both planning-wise and in the garage!

Walking into the garage today was quite hectic, I must admit! I was expecting the usual view on what we’d been seeing for the past 4 months, but lo and behold, the entire place seemed new somehow! Alex had, as I found out, been at work the previous weekend, putting in some personal/upgrading touches to The Garage (as it is now officially known!) and my gosh it looks much better! A new white “ceiling” hung above my head, whilst a neat circle of chairs surrounded a new table, with a bookshelf to the side, and– a prayer nook supported by an umbrella…nice! You can check out how our garage looks now by hitting the jump to the end of this post!

What we were also planning, was, well, a planning session…so that’s what happened as well!

RRY need more youth, we don’t deny it. But this time we’re going all out to advertise and publicize our garage to as many people as we can. Alex and Juan put it well: we’re not doing this to get recognition or praise: we just want to offer a relaxed atmosphere for Christian youth to socialize with others who feel as fired up about Christ as they do. Mainly, we also want to have interactive Bible sessions, DVD topics and also trips and activities to grow all our relationships with Christ, and be a true example to God’s grace and love.So, with that in mind, we started planning where, how and when to place our ads and flyers. You can see the results of our efforts in the  below, as well as on the main page. (I’m placing a sticky post there for the time being, you can also check them out on the ABOUT page.)

The Garage: Look at it now!
