Friday night is Youth Alpha at Church, 7.30 - 9.30pm - bible teaching and a whole lotta fun for school years 7 - 11

Sunday morning is Youth Alpha at Church, 10.30 - 12pm, fill your head with bible stuff every week, school years 7 - 11

Sunday night is the Waiting Room, a chance to get a bit of peace and quiet and listen to God, 6.30 - 8pm at Church.


Plenty going on then, so don't miss out.

Offical Broadway Youth Park Race Tuesday

Hey everybody out there, welcome to the OFFICAL BROADWAY YOUTH PARK RACE TUESDAY. Just like the headline says infact.

Tomorrow our good friend, Youth Alpha leader and general Broadway Youth Star, Mr Simon Dwight is heading off to America for a while. In December his band and offical le Chesh' super stars THE PARK RACE are touring North Carolina, how about dem apples huh?







We had our last Youth Alpha Sunday with Simon at the weekend and we're really going to miss him. What's more, I've been listening to last years Park Race album Statues and Portraits a lot in the last week or so, so we've dedicated today to the band. Well why not, gotta use the bandwidth up some how huh!
Here's a picture of them looking quite scary.














And here's one of Simon at the famed Broadway Youth All-nighter last month, singing along to Cold Play at 3 in the morning or some such.:

















And here's Simon on the same night, before he shaved:














And here's a very tasteful photo montage of the band performing put to one of their songs. It's great, you should watch it. Go on!

And just one more thing....




(Ta Luke!)

Right then, I'm off to the park to have a race with some statues and portraits I've stapled to an old pair of skates. Just hope I don't get hit in the head by a flying Mentos.
See you down there!

That was sure some fire works

OK, so this is some random youtube clip and it's not the fire works from Friday night at Chesham United football club. Ah well, Daryl's right though (see below) they sure were some fire works and we had a great Youth Alpha night toboot.

After the fire works we walked back to church and played some class games, well, I thought they were pretty classey.
The mums and dads made us hot chocolate and then did the washing up, YAY THEM! Thank you very much to Donna and Steve and everybody who helped serve and clear up, we really appreciated it.

Then on Saturday night:



We finished off all the 300th anniversary doings by dancing like barns up at Chesham Park school. Congratulations to Abbey, Matt, Nish, Jacob, Toby and Charlotte, you all 'got da moves', or something like that. It was alot of fun, I wish I'd taken a camera.





This morning in Youth Alpha we spent a long time working out Josephs family tree. So long in fact that I'm determined to scan that sucker in and get it on this page. We were thinking about promises, particulalry God's promises to Abramham to make him a great nation. That man had a whole lotta Great grand children!

And finally:
The (in)famous Broadway hut comes down tomorrow.... come back here then for a timely salute!
Till then

Ben

pwettyful

thats what the fireworks were, they were loud too, i didnt see ben though, dont know if he saw me, oh well, toodles

Circus of the EXTREME

Welcome to the Broadway Youth circus of the extreme,
the home of internet videos that made us sit up and rub our eyes.
Post some of your own, BUT KEEP IT CLEAN PEOPLE!

Let's begin with oriental people spinning pens aroudn their fingers like they've discovered the secret of anti gravity. Worth watching just for the sound track!



Next up, witness this man's incredible drum solo, without a drum in site. "This is Rock and roll" - he said it!



Another video worth checking out for the sound track alone.... watch Extreme Crew break dancing. Best in the world according to Mark Thomas (not the comedian).



and last but by no means least..... a lot of babies being sick. You would not believe the amount of sick one of those thigns can produce!

Well you would wouldn't you!

oooooooh, aaaaaaaah

It's Novemeber. Already. Well, almost.
Which means one very important thing:
The Youth Alpha Fire Works trip!
Next Friday, 3rd November we'll be meeting at the back of the church at 7pm and walking to Chesham United Football Club together to watch things explode. We'll then walk back to church and play some games.

Pick up time will be 9.30pm at church as normal.
Family members and friends are welcome either to join us or meet us at the football club.
Tickets are £3 for children and £5 for adults.

Stroof, Friday was a long night!

It finally happened! On Friday night / Saturday morning we had our All-nighter. The aim of the event was to stay up all night (of course) to celebrate 300 years of God's goodness to our church by spending 300 minutes on activities dedicated to Him. A minute for every year, incase you hadn't figured that out.

The activites included dedicating our minds to God through a quiz, dedicating our bodies to God by getting a dance routine together, using our voices in a midnight praise session and the Sing Star showdown and using our acting skills as well.

Here's a few memories from the event.

We kicked off with the now infamous 'animal game' that was made legendary by Frank's monkey impressions ("silky marmite"). This short activity produced more in-jokes then I could ever do justice to here. "Creepy Creepy. Creepy Creepy". etc.




This is Trinity Baptist Church who kindly lent us their building, because our own church was full with our 300th anniversary exhibition.

Thank you Colin, Tim and everybody at Trinity who made this possible!









Everybody brought along a DVD and we democratically voted to watch Jonny English (worst film title in British cinema history says-a-me!), so thanks to Sam for bringing that along. We put it on at about 1.30am, and Ian fell asleep in front of it, ahhh bless!









Our thanks to Lionel Ritchie for providing the theme song to our dance routine. This was one of Sarah's ideas and it was a lot of fun. Thank you Sarah! We stood around in a circle and made up a dance routine one step at a time. Video evidence of it's brilliance will soon be availible on request (to Youth Alpha and F.B.I. members only, natch)






See that picture? That's the bloke out of Keane that is. No doubt he's singing "Everybodies Changing", AGAIN! One of the high points of the night was seeing everybody compete to see who could get the most points on Sting Star Rocks. One of it's low points was sitting through "Everybodies Changing" three times.... mind you the first performance was a crowd pleaser. Sarah judged our various efforts, and I had a go at "Boys are Back in Town" by Thin Lizzy - but didn't do to well. Ah well. Calum and Matt R were both very good. Yay them!
The best part of the showdown was hoping that Ian would wake up from his Jonny English-induced slumber to find himself surrounded by strangers singing Queen songs and not know whether he was still dreaming. Saddly he took it all in his stride, it turns out he's quite hard to confuse.










At midnight Simon D and Park_2002 led the little crowd in some very atmospheric worship songs (thank you both for that).
"Thank you"s to Rueben for typing up the song words and Chrissy for operating the powerpoint.
That's Simon in the photo with his band The Park Race. If you liked what you heard on Saturday then click here to visit their web page or click here to go to see their myspace profile.! (Yeh) Hey is my personel favourite. Click here to read a review of it by Rueben.







Toast. There's nothng quite like it. We finished off the night by eating breakfast together, having a mass tidy up and chucking Calum's orange cushion about. Lovely. Then we all went home and slept.

Thank you Park_2002 for buying the food and Fliss for cooking it, doing the washing up, cleaning and generally getting on and doing stuff behind the scenes. Thanks also to Malcolm and Keith (yes Keith, ANOTHER thank you!) for your guidance and help. With out you two.....
And one more special thank you goes to local business Dwight Sounds who provided all our live PA solutions at a very competetive price.


Ta'rah.

half term

Half term is here, its oficial, its here, yay

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:

This Friday @ Youth Alpha

Yo Homes! ( As Dr Watson said when he found the missing half of Sherlock's favourite yo yo).

We're meeting up with New Town Evangelical Church's Friday night group @ 7.30pm (at their church, le Chesh, natch)
Then at 9pm we are walking back to good ol' Broadway for some hot chocolate, so get yo' mamma to pick you up from there at 9.30pm.

See you there.

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.
