What would the Bible say to Mario?

Youth Alpha this Friday

Here's the details for this Friday's event.
This will be our 3rd Friday night joint event with St Mary's Church. The other 2 were great so you won't want to miss this one!

Youth Alpha Social - bring your unwanted presents

True story:

My grandparents bought me 2 little wooden dolls dressed as Swiss children back from a holiday they went on when I was about 3 and I was a bit ungrateful.

From that moment on my parents rammed it into my head that polite people MUST accept any present with a smile and a 'thank you'.

Always one to over compensate, I got a bit carried away.
The following Christmas a (rather crabby) elderly lady my Mum knew knitted pink berets for me and my brother.



We both smiled and said

“Thank you, it’s just what I’ve always wanted!”

That was a lie kids, and I’d go so far as to say that lying is wrong!
Shame on me.

(Our family gave the elderly lady a box of chocolates. As soon as she opened them he said

“What have you given me these for? I only like soft centres!”

Charming old girl!)

Here’s the thing:
Did you tell any yuletide fibs?

Along with the presents you really wanted, did you get a couple that just aren’t you? Or are you one of those people who can’t throw stuff away and has a cupboard full of unwanted gifts dating back to your fifth birthday?

Well, read on because help is at hand!

For the first Youth Alpha of 2008 we’re running a present auction. We want every body to bring a present that you (or somebody in your family) received but didn’t really want. You’ll get to bid on other peoples unwanted gifts (one man’s trash is another man’s treasure & one persons rubbish is another persons radish, right?). So you could get to bring something you don’t want (and some cash) and then leave with something you DO want. Cool, huh. If you don’t have any unwanted presents then just bring yourself and a few quid to bid with.

All the money from the sale of the gifts will go to Nish’s Love Russia fund.

Right… I’m off to look through my presents.

The YA present auction is an event for young people in school years 7 to 11.
It will run from 7.30 to 9.30pm at Broadway Baptist Church, Chesham on Friday January 11th.
Enterance is via the back door, please ring the bell.

HAPPY 2008!

Happy New-Year folks.



Whilst it’s a bit disappointing that it’s 2008 now and we STILL AREN’T LIVING IN SPACE (!)

it’s great that the planet’s still here,

Chesham’s still here

and there’s another 12 months of marvellous Broadway Youth related stuff ready to go.


Youth Alpha starts back on Friday 11th January.
Our first night will be a special fund raising event for Nish, who’s planning to work with Love Russia in the summer.
More news on that in the next post.


Free* Café starts back on Wednesday 16th January with all the usual stuff

and Free* plus 1 starts the next Wednesday (Jan 23rd).

See you there.
