Camp Revolution was excellent!

Sam & Josh Collis-Bird took a stack of photos and video during camp; here’s a video they put together for us. Thanks, guys!

Our world is a big, busy place! There is so much important stuff in life … is Jesus – who lived and died over 2000 years ago – really that important? Is Jesus worth my time and attention? Is he relevant for our lives today, or a relic of the past?

This term at Fresh, we’ll be looking at Mark’s gospel. Mark’s answer is:

… well, you’ll have to come along to find out! We start this week, 7pm at All Saints. Bring your friends!

Camp Revolution is the annual Youth Camp for our High School youth groups. We go away for a few days at the very end of the summer holidays, to be challenged by God’s word, transformed by Jesus love, so that we can grow in our love for each other, and our desire to impact the world with God’s love.

In 2012, Camp Revolution will happen on Monday 23rd to Wednesday 25th of January – the week before school goes back.

Camp Revolution is for everyone in High School; especially if you’re just about to start year 7.

This year, Sam and Matt will be speaking from the Psalms.

To register, you can download the forms right here, or click through to register online. Note: there are two forms to fill out: a pretty one with basic details, and a plain one for all your safety information.

Please get your notes and money back to Matt no later than Sunday 15th January. But to be nicer to him, the sooner, the better

At Fresh & All Saints, one of the key things we’re on about is being transformed by Jesus’ love.

And it just so happens that this happened to the Thessalonian Church, when Paul visited them (which you can read about in Acts 17); they heard the gospel, and they were transformed! They turned from worshipping idols to worshipping the living God, and their lives changed. They started imitating Paul (as he imitated Christ), and so became model Christians for loads of other churches around the place.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if we were transformed, and people started following Jesus because of our example?

For this reason, we’re going to get stuck into 1 Thessalonians this term at Fresh; to learn about how Jesus’ love transformed them, and think about how it might transform us.

We’ve also got a stack of fun activities planned for the term, including glow stick games, a paint fight (wear really old clothes!), QandA for the year 10-12′s, a big end-of-year Christmas party, and loads more.

You can download the program from the term right here!

the YAK – September 2011

At the heart of the Christianity is the message that Jesus died for us. But why? Why did he have to die? What did his death achieve?

And if we’re living for Jesus, what difference does the cross make to the way we live?

That’s what we’re exploring this term at Fresh; it’s going to be a blast!

Fresh starts back this friday, the 22nd of July, and you can download your programs right here!
