Bash the Trash: Schools

This week tbcYouth hosted a Bash the Trash for schools in our community.  It was great to see young people giving up an hour of their time to tidy up their local community.  With 30 pupils from 2 schools we collected over 20 bags full of rubbish, well done guys!

Baptism service

Next Sunday evening (Sun 20th Dec) is our Christmas baptism service, a number of young people and people linked to the youth are getting baptised so come along, it’ll be a great night to bring your friends along to.

After the service there will be an open house at Chris & Hannah Kidd’s until 10pm.  Bring a drink or some nibbles.

This Should Keep Us All Thinking

Some of the young people have been putting this up on their facebook profiles, we wanted to give you an opportunity to watch it, think about it, and respond.

Thought for Youth Band

Dan, one of our Ministry Apprentices is in the process of developing a youth band.  A couple of weeks ago they started regular rehearsals, and tonight I popped in to share a quick thought with them.  I thought my notes might be of interest to you:

• We want perfection – people need a strong, clear lead, but we want perfection because it is the minimum we should offer in worship.
• But this is not at the expense of our heart – we must be worshippers to lead others in worship.
• Check out Luke 10:38-43
• Mary & Martha – Martha wasn’t wrong in giving hospitality, she was wrong to let it dominate her.  It’s important to stop and sit at the feet of our Lord.
• You must go with what you believe God is leading you to do – both corporately and individually.

They’re an amazing set of young people and I’m really looking forward to seeing how they develop as a band.

Christmas Party!

This Saturday is the tbcYouth Christmas Party, it’s at church 7-9.30pm.  If you want to come you should have already contacted the tbcYouth team to get your ticket.  It’s raising money for the tbcYouth mission trip to Mumbai in July 2010.  Don’t forget your fancy dress for the All Around The World theme!

Church Prayer Meeting

It would be great to see as many of you as possible at the prayer meeting on Wednesday9th Dec  8.00-9.15pm.  Come for as much as you’re able.  If you need lifts either way get in touch with Chris Kidd.

Carol Singing

We are going Carol Singing as a church again this year, on Tues 15th and Weds 16th December.  The plan is to meet at 7.00, go out and sing until around 8.30 and then come back to TBC for drinks.  It would be great to see as many of you as possible there, we had a great time last year.

Bash the Trash

Bash the Trash: Why not start off your weekend with a Burley Breakfast and then at 9.00am come along and ‘bash the trash’?  This is a great opportunity to get involved in an Act of Kindness and show practical care to our community by picking up litter in the local area.  Barry Lock and his team provide all the litter pickers/gloves etc.

Mungo – “Adventure, Celebrity & Extreme Travel”

Mungo – “Adventure, Celebrity & Extreme Travel”: Paul, son of Chris & Jan Mungeam will be giving an illustrated talk at TBC on Saturday on “Adventure, Celebrity & Extreme Travel”, here are some quotes from those he regularly works with:

“Everyone I know loves working with this man” Bear Grylls

“Mungo is one of the best cameramen I’ve worked with” Simon Cowell

If you are interested please let Chris Mungeam know so that he can reserve a ticket(s) for you.  They are charging £5 each to cover expenses of the evening, if that really is an issue get in touch with the tbcYouth team and we’ll sort that, it sounds like it will be an amazing event.
