we are launching a new ministry: The Haven - a safe space for young people dealing

Thanks...
l 267 is loving building links with YoungLife and Youthscape and we
feel truly blessed to be partnering so much with them
l We give thanks for the friendship, unity and support that exists
among the youth and childrens leaders from across our area
l Some great connections being made with churches that we havent
done much with. I really thank God for these partnerships that are
forming
l FUEL is great and such an encouragement. Young people preaching,
young people ministering to one another and youth groups coming
together as one. Our most recent gathering was just an amazing time
and the young people from across our churches are truly living and
behave like a real loving and supportive community of believers
Please...
l Pray for our upcoming residential for school years 6,7&8. We are really
excited to be looking at Romans 12:1-2 and the topic of rebellion using Rogue
One: A Star Wars Story
l Pray for our Trustees Away day. Pray that this will be a significant time for the
wider team to be together
l We are really praying that God will speak to us about where we need to be
with our 267 office. With the growth of our team and in the people that want
to meet us we are finding our current space is not quite fit for purpose and we
would like a home we can grow into
l I try not to use the word busy but it does seem like a very full term. Pray
for the whole team as we serve churches, leaders, volunteers, kids and young
people. Pray for our own space and rest and for the energy and inspiration to
continue the ministry of 267.
