Hi everyone,
Hope you're not too busy in the run up to Christmas (I've heard that it can get a bit busy in churches round about now? not sure why!) Anyway, just wanted to let you know about some stuff coming up under the umbrella of the Churches Together youth stuff...
Firstly though, a big thanks to everyone who was involved or came along to the youth event on 13th Dec at Crossways Baptist Church. It was great to see so many young people from across the churches in the area. Watch out for news of the next event (next term) coming soon...
Secondly, to let you know about Christmas Eve - Carol singing outside Waitrose in Dorking. 2-3pm - we'll provide song words etc and be collecting for charity as well. In previous years St Josephs have done this and had a great response so a big thanks to them for suggesting this as a churches together youthy activity. If you have any musicians as well then get in touch before the event so we can sort out music etc! please do encourage your young people to come along to this and witness to the glory of the birth of Jesus at that first Christmas!
And lastly, but not leastly - you may have heard about the Youth Alpha that has run over the past few years in Dorking for young people in the area, and it's occurring again!
Its happening sunday afternoons 3-5pm at Dorking Christian Centre, from 10th Jan through to the end of March with the weekend away planned for 12th-14th March. This year is focussed on school years 7-8, although if there are yr 9s who it would work for (eg they have all their best friends in the yr7-8 age group etc then its perfectly possible for them to come along...)We have posters and postcards to advertise it which we'll be trying to distribute, but please do ensure that your relevant youth (and parents!) are informed and excited about it!!!
If you're eager eager eager for postcards/poster pop into the christian centre and come along to my office and harrass me until I give you some, or you can always contact me on youth.ctd@gmail.com or 07788 916882.

It was good to hear at the synod meeting that you plan to hold a meeting on 3rd March - it would be good to have more information for Youth leaders about this as I've pointed them to this site for information and an update from the synod meeting last week.
I think this is the info you need Sue:
"So for anyone who can make it, and I’d love to see as many of you as possible, I’m arranging a space to meet on weds 3rd March from 8-9.30pm (ish) at the Christian centre in Dorking.
We’ll have coffee and donuts (or a suitable alternative for any non-caffeine addicts/lent disciplinarians!) with space and time to get to know each other, chat a little bit about what we do and how we do it, plus spend some time praying for each other. Please let me know if you’re coming or not, so I can organise the an appropriate amount of refreshments!"
