I´n not about stealing young people, but I believe there is one church, God´s church and we should all be working together for his glory and I believce partnerships and networking to be vital in reaching all young people. http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4875&CatID=1&Post=4939#4939 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:21:54 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4938&CatID=7&Post=4938#4938 Hi, We are looking for self-funded volunteers aged 18yrs upwards who have a heart for Christian Evangelism in a non-preaching setting. We are a International Media Organisation established in 1995. We get involved in exciting youthwork projects all over the world and are currently seeking volunteers to serve at our head office in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England. For more details please visit out website at http://www.vinemedia.co.uk - Unfortunately our website is down at the moment as we [..] http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4938&CatID=7&Post=4938#4938 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 03:51:35 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4888&CatID=1&Post=4937#4937 Shame you can´t make it, but thanks for generating some interest! Any ideas for other networks we can tap into to publicise it? We didn´t want to just put on a London lecture, but we clearly need to publicise this better in networks local to Leeds http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4888&CatID=1&Post=4937#4937 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 09:07:16 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4888&CatID=1&Post=4936#4936 Just realised that it´s on a thursday that I can´t go to - which actually makes me quite disappointed. Almost disappointed enough to go the one down south like last year! But it does mean I´ll have to recind my offer, I am very sorry!!!! http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4888&CatID=1&Post=4936#4936 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 21:56:23 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4888&CatID=1&Post=4935#4935 Just bumping this up to see if we can find any takers :) Leaving from Hartlepool, Teesside! http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4888&CatID=1&Post=4935#4935 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:15:44 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4902&CatID=1&Post=4934#4934 I completely accept Spirit´s point about the style, I found it ok to read but I could imagine other found it quite hard. That said the content of the article I found helpful. There´s nothing wrong with having a postmodern scepticism at the ´expert´, but at the same time there´s nothing wrong with having a sense of humility and recognising that other people can teach us something, whether we consider them to be our ´senior´ or not. Some of those bullet points we will use (like most of the ´goi[..] http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4902&CatID=1&Post=4934#4934 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:12:38 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4902&CatID=1&Post=4933#4933 Hi Spirit, if you´d like to cancel your subscription give our Crowborough office a call - the number is in the magazine. Sorry about the issue with the residentials feature - I´m afraid we got that one wrong, and to compensate I´ll make sure we put the whole thing online in a very readable fashion. As for the ´experts´ - as we said these are experienced youth ministry practitioners.

One of the great thing is you can get a usb with all the policies and doc on it save many hours of having to type them up you can change them to best suit you.

How does the editor NOT get it! All of these experts are just not that. poor poor poor, can we have our subscription money back? http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4902&CatID=1&Post=4931#4931 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 09:22:25 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4928&CatID=2&Post=4930#4930 Me again, just also thought about meant to live & this is your life by switchfoot. http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4928&CatID=2&Post=4930#4930 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 10:50:56 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4928&CatID=2&Post=4929#4929 Hi, Here are a few suggestions: Rescued You alone can rescue (matt redman) Came to my rescue/be lifted high (Hillsong United) Restored My Sould is complete (phil shaw) Majesty (Martin Smith) Because of your love - (phil wickham)might be slightly tenuous but i think it fits Revived Alive (Ken Riley & Tim Hughes) Everlasting God/Strength will rise (Brenton Brown & Ken Riley) Salvation is here (Hillsong Unites) As an alternative to ´worship songs´ Dj Andy[..] http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4928&CatID=2&Post=4929#4929 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 10:49:21 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4928&CatID=2&Post=4928#4928 I´m leading a youth weekend in a couple of weeks and my session titles are the 3 Rs - Rescued, Restored and Revived! I´m hoping to be able to give each session a theme tune and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

(One for upper school one for lower school) I´m looking for a creative way of presenting the Easter narrative from Mark without using a projector (there wont be one in the churches we are using) and using students (they are school but I am stuck for ideas! Our services have plenty of creativity and I am keen that the message of Easter (we are focusing on Forgiveness this year) is not either lost in translation or that it fe[..] http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4927&CatID=2&Post=4927#4927 Fri, 19 Feb 2010 18:49:19 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4897&CatID=2&Post=4926#4926 The safeguarding board for my area (Manchester) is in the process of finishing one, its worth looking at the school one but it will be more constricting, good luck! http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4897&CatID=2&Post=4926#4926 Fri, 19 Feb 2010 18:32:18 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4925&CatID=2&Post=4925#4925 I was wondering, from your perspectives, what are the best GAP year opportunities out there? I know it is very subjective, but I´d like to hear what you´ve liked the best either personally, or through watching your youth and what you can see has the biggest impact. Again, I know totally subjective, but just wondering what´s out there. Thanks! http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4925&CatID=2&Post=4925#4925 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 21:01:41 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4875&CatID=1&Post=4924#4924 hi I´m based in brum, and would love to meet with other youth workers/pastors. However, I am a little reluctant if it becomes a chance for us to scoop up other young people for our events....It would be great to meet for mutual support, or otherwise you end up feeling a bit used! http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4875&CatID=1&Post=4924#4924 Wed, 17 Feb 2010 14:02:19 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4901&CatID=2&Post=4923#4923 good point Pete. I think that is a wise answer. I am reminded of the Romans 12 passage that talks about the bredth of spiritual gifts....prophet, servant, encourager etc....I guess in youth ministry, it depends on who God has called into a youth ministry context that effects what kind of ministry grows from it. http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4901&CatID=2&Post=4923#4923 Wed, 17 Feb 2010 13:59:53 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4908&CatID=2&Post=4922#4922 ...what is ´workplace data´? http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4908&CatID=2&Post=4922#4922 Wed, 17 Feb 2010 13:56:27 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4902&CatID=1&Post=4921#4921 No idea who anyone really is on here, but hey-ho this raises some interesting issues..... The positives of this post are that I guess, making Jesus much more central to our message, and also moving away from a youth ministry that is all about appearances and not about substance, truth and light - those are great things. But I guess I would ask - what does any of it actually mean? Practically speaking there is nothing you can really draw from this other than the above point. Which is nice,[..] http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4902&CatID=1&Post=4921#4921 Wed, 17 Feb 2010 13:55:41 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4908&CatID=2&Post=4920#4920 Well, being a church, we use a few methods for keeping people up to date: Firstly, the notice boards. Usual stuff, if something is happening it goes on a board. Secondly, notice sheets - every week . Of course this is only helpful to church families. Thirdly, email and the internet. We have a blog (you can find it at youth.stranton-church.org.uk) that keeps people up to date and I email members of the group weekly with what´s going on. We presume that everyone has access to the internet[..] http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4908&CatID=2&Post=4920#4920 Tue, 16 Feb 2010 12:58:57 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4902&CatID=1&Post=4919#4919 I´m sure this board logs IP addresses so the moderators would be able to see if it has come form the same person or not. But you are right, I am well known for preaching a gospel of damnation. Hardly a week goes by I don´t reduce one of our young people to tears. http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4902&CatID=1&Post=4919#4919 Tue, 16 Feb 2010 12:53:16 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4902&CatID=1&Post=4918#4918 We are not looking forward to a happy go lucky hippy Second Coming........and another thing pete (we all agreeded its pete) whats wrong with happy go lucky hippys? http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4902&CatID=1&Post=4918#4918 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 16:08:42 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4908&CatID=2&Post=4917#4917 hi, yes you are correct.

Maybe a bit of context will helpus answer your questions better. http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4908&CatID=2&Post=4913#4913 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 00:56:06 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4905&CatID=2&Post=4912#4912 There´s a jargonistic question if ever I heard one :) Availability of information for a start - you can´t access what isn´t there! http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4905&CatID=2&Post=4912#4912 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 00:55:02 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4902&CatID=1&Post=4911#4911 Just out of interest P-Z, what lead you to post that here? http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4902&CatID=1&Post=4911#4911 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 00:54:02 +0100 http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4910&CatID=2&Post=4910#4910 what are the various formats available to increase accessibility and how you would support a young person who needed help. http://www.youthwork.co.uk/community/Forum/Posts.asp?subject=4910&CatID=2&Post=4910#4910 Sun, 14 Feb 2010 22:35:46 +0100
