A19 is Priory's Youth
Group. We were named by some "old" members after an inspiring visit to
Easter People one year.
Have a look at the first few verses of -
A:19
- and you will see where
they are coming from.
There are about 20 young people who
currently meet every other Sunday evening between 6:30pm and
8:30pm at Priory. You can join A:19 if you are in year
5 upwards. We enjoy a mix of social and constructive activities and
Worship. We love going to concerts led by our favourite Christian bands
and this year we went to the Greenbelt Festival over the
August Bank Holiday weekend and had the best
time!!
This is what A:19 Have to
say!
"When we do the
programme we try to do fun but constructive activities, like being lost on
an island and picking 5 material things and 5 abstract things- this became
difficult (arguing!)"
Charlotte.
"We have lots of fun
playing pool and table tennis"
Emily.
"We
have a very nice team of young people - theyr'e happy to welcome new
members"
Harry.
"We do random things but
we are like a family"
Kirsty.
"We went to Greenbelt
this year and had na good time. We listened to lots of bands and bought
sweets, light sabres and funny hats!"
Tom.
" I like playing teddybear
basketball and Go-carts. We are going to Greenbelt 2009 - I think when we
go we will have even more fun than last year!"
Callum.
Our Easter
Eggstravaganza!
For a few days in the
Easter Holidays A:19 mades St Lukes our home and took part in Easter
activities leading up to Revelation (Our Christian Rock Concert ). We
played games, did some drama, made tie die T shirts and put together a
radio show. We interviewed out favourite band Myspoon and recorde it
for our radio show.We finished our session with a quiet,
contemplative act of worship - most unlike us!- and then had a sponsored
sleepover! We "slept" between the pews and raised over £160 for
action for children.
Greenbelt
08
In August over 20 young people from A:19 and their
leaders braved the festival scene and joined tens of thousands of other
Christians at Cheltenham racecourse for the greenbelt Festival.
Our
camping skills are very impressive as a lot of our members are in the boys
Brigade and Guides so we lived in relative comfort and ate some fantastic
meals!. Our days were spent absorbing the Festival spirit, going to talks
and music gigs, doing crafts and meeting some very cool Christians. In the
evenings we went to see our favourite bands and listen to new ones.
On
the Sunday all the visitors joined together for a masive Communion
which was awesome.
We had a brilliant time - laughed a lot and came
home the best of friends. Roll on
2009!!.
Xchange
In November we joined Wooton and Stewartby churches
for a Saturday Night with our favourite band - Myspoon!! Highlights were
being in the moshpit and crowd surfing! The next morning we joined them
again for Worship - a brilliant experience.
If you would to come and
join us ring the Church office to find out the date of our next meeting

Paul in Ephesus
(1)
While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the
interior and arrived
at Ephesus. There he found some disciples.
(2) and asked them,
"Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you
believed?"
They answered, "No, we have
not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."
(3) So Paul asked,
"Then what baptism did you receive?" "John's baptism," they
replied.
(4) Paul said,
"John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe
in the one coming after him, that is, in
Jesus."
(5) On hearing this,
they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
(6) When Paul
placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they
spoke
in tongues and
prophesied.
(7) There were about
twelve men in all. Etc, Etc ........................ Read on
