How Lord of the Rings should have ended
I'm posting this little flash vid' especially for Iain, just incase he's looking.
F.B.I. this week
Because of the Broadway Expirience exhibition using the main building F.B.I. will a bit different tomorrow. We'll still meet at 3.30pm at Church, but we'll have a look around the exhibition till 4pm and then do our usual stuff in the back hall 'till 5pm. See you there.
Broadway Exhibition
If you've walked past the church this week you'll have noticed the MA-HOO-SIVE banner outside.
As part of the churches 300th anniversary celebrations we are running a free exhibition all week looking at the past, present and future of Broadway and our little home town of Le Chesh'!
It's free to get in and there's a good selection of stuff on display for people of all ages, including a great puppet video (all credit to Rueben) and a really cool garden space with a water fall.
The exhibition is called The Broadway experience and it runs all week till 4pm, an evening opening on Wednesday night (7-9pm) and a special opening on Saturday morning.

Tetris baby!
( Scroll down if your looking for news about Youth Alpha tonight or the All-nighter next week )
For the last week I've been living in 1991. That year anybody who was anybody got a Gameboy for Christmas and the UK rocked to the sound of Tetris. We had to, Bohemian Rhapsody was number 1 again, what choice did we have? Last Friday I got Tetris DS and my mind has been a mess of falling blocks since then. Even Park_2002 has been playing it by jingo!
All those memories of falling blocks have come flooding back, it's a beautiful thing. And it has a fun touch screen 'slidey' bonus game now too.
Here's a link to the IGN review.
And here's a person dressed as a really big L block:
And here's a really old Tetris advert from America, I like the bit with the boy dressed as a private I and his rotating head!
Tetris is so great, even buildings play it!
This video is a bit poor, but I like the rock version of the Tetris theme. Oh to see In Eternum incorporate it into their live set!
Tetris is so good, even lego plays it!
A lot of people don't realise that Elvis wrote the classic theme music. Check out this authentic documentary footage:

ALL NIGHT LONG!
"Hey everybody in Chesham, England! Lionel Richie here! You know, Christina's Daddy! Hang on, nah, that's not right! Nichole Richie's Daddy! That's it!
Have I got a really important announcement for you guys! Well yes, yes I do! And here it is!
I just love staying up all night, why I even wrote a hit song about it in the 80's! Crazy times! Did you see those little kids body popping in my video down there?! I'm telling ya, CRAZY TIMES!
And a crazy time is what you guys are gonna have at the Broadway Youth All-nighter next Friday! That's what I'm here to announce by the way! THE BROADWAY YOUTH ALL-NIGHTER ON FRIDAY 20TH OCT 2006!
To celebrate the 300th anniversary of Broadway Baptist Church over there in Chesham, England, you guys from school year 7 to 13 are gonna stay up ALL NIGHT LONG!
There's gonna be games, music, sports, drama, a quiz, a movie, a whole heap of fun!
Why you're gonna party,
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Well, not quite forever, actually it'll be 8.30pm to 9am at Trinity Baptist Church in Chesham, England!
I tell you kids, once you get started you can’t sit down,
Come join the fun, It’s a merry go round!
Although they will provide adequate seating and there won't actually be a merry go round!
There will be sleeping rooms provided, so if you do get tired you can catch up on your beauty sleep! But you'll need to bring your own sleeping bag and that kind of stuff!
You must have parental permission! No signed consent form - no entry - ALL NIGHT LONG!
I hope you have a great time! Because you guys are great, in fact your better then great, you're once, twice, three times really nice people, and I'm very fond of all of you!
Now I know it sounds funny, but I just can't stand the pain, this is the end of my announcement."
IMPORTANT NOTE: Obviously the real Lionel Richie had nothing to do with this. No really. So don't tell him!

explosive dream
i had a very weird dream last night, and i remember it quite well, i have nothing else to do so here goes
i had just been to buy diet coke + mentos, and we went to the school carpark to set them off, we went there, next to the car park was a row of class rooms with huge windows facing onto it, so we were waiting for there school to finish so we wouldnt get caught setting it off in there car park. in these class rooms every student faced the front so all we could see was the back of there heads. .Then one of my friends started shouting "get away, hide" really franticly, the next thing that happens is every single student turns around and looks me straight in the eye, the next thing im hiding behind a crate and the school explodes, but with no flames or anything, just all the rubble and stuff flying towards me. the next thing i remember im sitting in the rubble, dead, but i can still see, i get pulled out and get prounounced dead. then im standing ontop of a skyscraper with other skyscrapers all around in varying hights, i then start fighting batman, while flying and with tiny lightsabers.
and that was my twisted dream.

The Continentals
Do you like the songs from Disney movies?
Did you enjoy the BBC's "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" ?
Are you a fan of musical theatre?
Then you will probably get a big kick out of these guys:
They are The Continentals, a group of young America Christian singers.
If you're an Emo, Grunger, Metalist or a Goth then they aren't likely to be your slice of cheese.
(but check out Striper's myspace profile for a bit of rock cheddar - the seminal 80's Christian hair metal band who are incredibily still going!
Watch the vide on the site for some amazing hair spray abuse.)
If you answered 'yes' to any of the three questions above,
get yourself down to Broadway Baptist Church, Le Chesh, Bucks in good ol' England,
on Sunday morning (8th October) to catch their show "Reality Check".
10.30am - 12pm, free entry.
Click here to visit the Continentals website
there's audio, some video, a whole bunch of stuff in fact,
and don't miss the show tomorrow!

Nooma - Dust
| If you missed TGIF at Chesham High on Frida, or if you don't go to that school, then you missed this ravour good video by Amecian bloke Rob Bell. Check out the bit about "walking in the dust of your rabbi" - it's interesting stuff! The video is from the Nooma DVD series, watch out for the link to their website which will over there on the right some time soon. | |

Rule 10
As promised yesterday, here's the latest Free* Cafe' / Broadway Youth TV video.
Saddly, it doesn't feature Ming and Me looking shocked, or even a bit surprised. Shame.
The song in the back ground is "I want the one I can't have" by The Smiths (Best Band Ever! IMHO).
In the video we use a quotation from Jesus, talking about money, heaven and being satisfied in your life. Read the whole thing by clicking here,
it's a knock out!

Out takes
Well here we are:
another Wednesday,
another Free* Cafe'
and another video added to Broadway Youth TV.
To warm you up for the latest BYTV offering, we've uploaded this little gem of outtakes and funny bits from our most recent video "When Matt & Ben met.... Jenny" (scroll down to watch the proper version).
Don't forget the school Christian Unions:
Chesham Park School has Solid Rock on Thursdays in A7.
Chesham High School has TGIF on Fridays in H5.
Both are a great place to eat your lunch and meet other people.
Everyone is welcome. You don't have to be a Christian or go to a church to come along, but do be prepared to hear people talking about what Jesus and the Bible have to say to us now. They are both welcoming and fun places to be.
See you there.

All Apologies
Following a grand telling off from Sarah, I would like to apologise to any of the young ladies at youth alpha who have been offended by my (constant) suggestions during the last week that they may already have met their future husbands at Broadway Youth events (see ‘congratulations’ posting about all the weddings this year).
I’m sorry.
But this means I get a written apology from anyone body who really does marry somebody they met here. And some cake!

The Lounge Today
Imagine the kids in that pictures in black blazers and you'll have a pretty fair mental image of the general shananigans at The Lounge hosted by TGIF at Chesham High School today.
Unfortunately we didn't have the offical MB Twister spinner. So we span a year 7 around and he shouted out random instructions like "right hand blue" (true story). He seemed to like it.
Other high lights included a little crowd around Battlefront 2 on the PS2 and the guy who can play lots of Guns and Roses rifts ("Go on, guess the song" "Sweet Child of mine?" "Correct!") It was like 1989 all over again I tells ya!
It's the last lounge tomorrow so don't miss it, lunch time, H5.
If you missed Youth Alpha on Friday and Sunday then you missed....
Quite a bit!
We kicked off the Broadway Baptist Church week of prayer with some classey hi jinkery, including:
Chubby Bunnies! (Lauren is our reigning champion!)
Is it OK to talk to God when you're angry?
Click here to read a rant like you wouldn't believe from the Bible.
Does God answer every prayer, ever?
Practice makes perfect.
Click here and here to read Jesus' very own 6 step program to a better relationship with God through prayer.
A hilarious game of Consequences
And we prayed for Somaila,
the country with the 4th worst reputation for religious freedom in the world according to Open Doors.
Don't miss out this week, Friday night 7.30 - 9.30pm and Sunday morning 10.30 - 12pm @ Broadway Baptist Church.
You may have realised by now that none of the people in these photos go to Youth Alpha (thank you Google images). So this post is dedicated to those noble souls whose commitment to the sport of Chubby Bunnies includes posting photos of themselves on the internet for all to enjoy. People like this:
We salute you!
This post is also an open pray for the all the brothers and sisters in Somalia, North Korea, Saudi Arabia and Iran. May you one day be free to stuff your faces with marsh mallows at a youth group that openly follows Jesus Christ.
FOR GREAT JUSTICE !
