Ah, the madness that is December is looming! I've just drafted a sketch for one of our Christmas events and realised how busy next month is looking....
This week is relatively normal, looking like this, but look out for an extra challenge later on:
Today I'm off to a meeting in a few minutes to plan some assemblies at George Spencer for next week, then off to a meeting about potential chaplaincy work at George Spencer after that. And then another meeting this afternoon...
Tomorrow I'm off for the day.
Wednesday I'll be spending much of it preparing for services over the next few weeks, so look out for me at some point in the afternoon escaping my pc and hitting Costa! And then another meeting in the evening...
Thursday brings Showcase and youth club as usual.
Friday brings the regular Friday groups, Play and Praise
Saturday all day there will be a food collection at Tesco for the network of Food Banks across Nottingham. I'll be there from 4 til 5 pm with some of our group leaders and young people, pop along if you can.
Sunday I'm preaching at the 8.30 and 10.30 services at St Peter's the 10.30 being a combined service for both churches while Messy Church is going on at Toton Methodist.
24 Hours:1 Day:0 Meals
Over recent weeks we've been doing some thinking about food banks and the fact that up to 200,000 people in the UK don't have the money to be able to buy food every week. On our own, or even with a group of friends, we can't solve that problem, but we can help, either by doing something simple like donating food to the food banks, or by improving our understanding of the problem.
Over the weekend of December 22nd/23rd, (yes, the weekend before we all tuck into our Christmas dinners), I'm challenging you to go without food for up to 24 hours. Between 6 am on the Saturday and 6 pm on the Sunday, pick a target period of up to 24 hours and experience what it is like to go without food. Set your own realistic target, think about the limits you are going to place on yourself. I'm limiting myself to water only (fluids are essential, do not go without them) between 12 pm Saturday and 12 pm Sunday. The only exception will be communion at church on the Sunday..
It's not a fundraiser, it's simply a personal exercise to experience what it's like. You decide when to start, and when to stop. You don't have to do the full 24 hours. I've attached an information and registration form with more info on it, if you are going to give it a shot, please do register, which can be done by email by parents of under 18's. We don't recommend you do this if you are still in primary school.
And if that weekend doesn't suit, do it the weekend before like someone else has already told me she's going to do!
Have a good week one and all, hope to see you somewhere around Toton.
God bless,
Andy

Click this link for the survey, it is completely anonymous.
Thank you,

Monday, Monday, can't trust that day.... Still, in four Monday's time we'll brighten up your day by giving you a hot chocolate on your way to school or work. :-)
In the meantime, this Monday sees me heading to George Spencer at lunchtime to meet up with the 6th form Christian Union group.
Tomorrow I'm on a day off.
Wednesday brings the next instalment of the Toton Churches Council.
Thursday I'll be at George Spencer for Showcase in the afternoon, straight after school in SO6 and I'll be at Youth Club in the evening, 7.00 to 8.30 for Years 7 to 9, 8.00 to 9.30 for Years 9 and above, both sessions at Toton Methodist Church.
Friday I'm at Friday Zone from 6.15 to 7.45 pm for Years 3 to 6, it's at Toton Methodist Church.
Saturday I'll most definitely be popping in to the craft fair at Toton Methodist, for a bacon butty and a brew at the very least! It's on from 10 am til 3 pm, and an ideal opportunity to support local charities and get some Christmas gifts.
Sunday There will be Breathe and Zone groups during the morning services and at Breathe Deeper in the evening, we'll be looking at "Intentional Faith Development" as part of our Five Practices series.
Soul Survivor booking forms are now out, let me know if you want one, open to anyone in Y 7 and above.
Our first Christmas event is a little over 2 weeks away now, on Thursday December 6th we'll be hosting our annual celebration for the youth and uniformed groups in Toton - last year we had over 160 at it! It's at 7.00 pm at St Peters. Look out for posters and fliers over the next week or two.
If you shop at Tesco, on December 1st there will be a collection point at our local Toton Tesco where we, and others through the day, will be collecting food for donation to the local Hope food banks. If you can help out, please let me know, particularly if you can do the 4 til 5 pm slot.
In the meantime, have a great week, and I'll hopefully see you around Toton at some point!
God bless,
Andy

Morning everyone,
There's nothing like a busy Monday to get the week going! One meeting down, three to go today....
Tomorrow I'm on a rest day
Wednesday brings a visit to the church Leadership Team
Thursday I'll be at George Spencer for Showcase in the afternoon and then it's youth club in the evening
Friday I'm at Friday Zone in the evening
Sunday I'm preaching at Toton Methodist at the 10.30 service, the Breathe group is meeting as usual at St Peter's and Breathe Deeper is on in the evening.
Soul Survivor:
Booking forms are now available for next years trip to Soul Survivor, costs start out at £120 if you book early, but rise to £160 if you leave it until the last minute, and that covers all your food, snacks, entry to the event. 5 nights, 6 days, several tents, 4,000+ teenagers, 1 God. One amazing event, the website's here. Email me for a booking form or pick one up at one of our events. Open to anyone in Y7 or above. There are also opportunities for people to serve on Teams at Week B or C and there's information on Momentum, the student event on the forms as well.
Hot Chocolate
In 5 short weeks I'll be standing outside Toton Methodist giving away hot chocolate again, every morning that last week of term before Christmas. If you fancy helping out, please let me know as soon as you can, and this year we will be joined one morning by Revd Paul Butler, the Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham. It's an early start each morning, to give out hot drinks from 7.45 but a real opportunity to bless young people in our community and share God's love in a practical way.
God bless and have a good week whatever you are doing,
Andy
