Back with a vengance!

Not that we are back to strike with a vengance against all evil doers, as Superman & Batman would, but ‘Redefine‘ is back!!!!

We had our first Sunday night Bible study of the new term last Monday night! Whoop!

It was fantastic to say the least, with a great turnout of familiar faces and a lot of new young people turned up too.

We’ve spent a lot of time during the summer praying, preparing and thinking about this new term, and are really expectant of what God is going to do this term through the work of LLYFC.

We have worked hard at creating a great space for the young people to meet in. We now have a great ‘cafe‘ feel for the room we meet in with Parasols, string lights, an illuminated stage area, notice board, welcome area with a hot chocolate bar.

We love the new decor, and the young people did too.

We had a fun game to start of the evening with a modern variation of British bulldog, only this time I was playing a zombie pirate with 2 foam cutlasses that if they touched you, you became one of my zombie pirate crew, until there was only 1 survivor who won the game. It was a great laugh and burned off more calories for me than expected.

Our teaching theme was ‘Found People Find People‘ – this is part of the “We Believe” teaching series we ran last year at this time. At the start of a new term it’s good to go back to the foundations and look at what we as Christians believe. To get back to basics. It’s also important given that we have so many new young people coming to ‘Redefine‘, that we layout for everyone the essentials of the Christian faith in a relevant way.

Our director Mr Tim Gough spoke excellently and really laid out the importance for us as Christians to share our faith with others.

We also had a great time of worship together, very ably led by Simon Platt. This was Simon’s last night with us before he heads down to London to study at the London School of Theology. We have been so blessed to see Simon grow and develop from a teenager who started to come to Redefine many years ago when we were still based in Madoc Street to become a invaluable volunteer leader with us. We are so grateful to God for all of the support and faithfulness Simon has shown and know that he will be such a blessing in London. We will miss him.

This coming Sunday we will be looking at ‘Saved People Serve People‘ and tackling the who area of servanthood and what that means. “Jesus called them together and said, ‘You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.’” – Mark 10:42-45

Speaking of serving and helping out, if there is anyone reading this blog post who feels that they want to help us out at Llandudno Youth for Christ, whether that be serving on our team for our youth work events or volunteering at our Saturday Cafe on Saturdays at St John’s Church in Llandudno, then please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Be blessed!@
