Afternoon everyone,

I hope you're having a good day to finish half term off, it's certainly a sunny one! I'm moving my day off around this week, I'm off tomorrow instead of Tuesday, so here's this weeks weekly email a day early.

Tuesday I'm at the Leadership team Away Day all day. Please pray for us as we look to the future for the churches and how we can work more closely together.

Wednesday I'm being supervised in the morning to make sure I'm doing my job properly etc, and Cafe Breathe is on in the evening.

Thursday Showcase is on in the afternoon, SO 6 for anyone in Year 7 and up. This term we're kicking off The Incredibles as our movie for the rest of this term. Youth Club is on in the evening, Toton Methodist, 7.00 til 8.30 pm

Friday GYM is on at the usual time of 6.15 pm for anyone in years 3 to 6.

Sunday brings Breathe Deeper in the evening, 7.00 pm at St Peter's in the youth room. 

Beyond this week, keep an eye out for posters and tickets for Irish Night on March 17th at St Peters!

Other than that, this week is fairly normal, have a good one and God bless,

Andy

Morning all,

Well, half term has arrived, am I the only one feeling it has been a long six weeks? Either way, it's here, so this week is a little different to the rest of them!

Today I'm off to a meeting in a bit and then will be catching up on admin for the rest of the day.....

Tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday look similar - a number of us are partnering with Hope Nottingham to do some decorating for a member of the community each morning these days and then I'll be catching up on admin.... Can you see a theme appearing?

That said, come Thursday afternoon I'll be heading off on a train to see friends for a couple of days, so won't be around on Friday or Saturday.

Sunday  I'm preaching at St Peter's at both the 8.30 and the 10.30 services. Breathe Deeper is on at the usual time of 7.00 pm next Sunday evening.

And after that, we're back to normal, except we're not quite as I'm taking next Monday off to go on the Leadership Team Away Day on the Tuesday.... Breathemail may arrive a day late or a day early next week, keep an eye out for it.

Finally, just a reminder that if you want to come off the mailing list for this email, please just drop me a line and I'll take you off.

God bless, and enjoy half term.

Andy

Morning all. If any of you are Superbowl fans, you'll know how I feel this morning, it was a late night last night! Battling bravely onwards, I know it's my own fault so sympathy is not expected.....

Today I'm at a meeting of the youth management team this evening as we look towards the future and the next steps for the youth programme in Toton. 

Tuesday I'm having a rest!

Wednesday Cafe Breathe is on as usual at Toton Methodist, 7.00 til 8.30 pm for anyone in Year 7 and above. I'll pop in before putting a rare appearance in at Leadership Team.

Thursday I'm at Showcase and Youth Club (Toton Methodist, 7.00 til 8.30 pm, Years 7 & 8)as usual this Thursday, and the added extra is the praying for schools event on Thursday afternoon as well.

Friday brings GYM Youth Club at the usual time (Toton Methodist, 6.15 - 7.45, Years 3 to 6) as well as Play and Praise in the afternoon. 

On Sunday we have our monthly all-age service at St Peter's at 10.30 am, and in the evening the Breathe group are leading the evening service, 6.00 pm at St Peters. Breathe Deeper will be a largely social evening afterwards.

Baptism and Confirmation:

A few people have been asking about these recently, so this might be a timely occasion to mention it here. The Toton Churches both offer Baptisms (sometimes referred to as Christenings) for anyone who is interested who hasn't already been baptised. If this is something you are interested in, please either have a chat with me, one of the church ministers or ring the church office on 0115 9462357.

If you have already been baptised, perhaps as a baby, and want to re-affirm those promises, Conformation is a chance to do that. It's also an opportunity to say "yes, I believe and want to belong" publicly in a church setting. In the run up to any confirmation service there will be a series of get togethers as part of the preparation. If you, or someone you know, are interested in this, please drop me an email and we'll start that ball rolling as well.

In the meantime, I'm off for some lunch. Have a good week, half term is only round the corner. If you want to spend some of it doing a bit of DIY painting, please do give me a shout, we could do with some extra hands to help with a serving project we have on the go over half term.

God bless,

Andy

Welcome to a slightly later than usual weekly email, I'm gradually recovering from the Toton Churches weekend away.... Somehow I managed to be the person that turned the lights off in the main lounge both nights....... Anyway, on with the rest of this week!

Monday I've been sorting out stuff for our half term Home Hope project. If you can spare a morning on the Wednesday/Thursday/Friday to help paint a bedroom for someone, please get in touch with me or visit our Breathe Facebook page and let me know.

Tuesday I'll be catching up on sleep after the weekend away. We had a great time, even though sleep was not in great supply!

Wednesday is the first Wednesday of the month so I'm on a prayer and reading day. If there is anything you would like me to prayer for, please let me know. I'll be at Cafe Breathe in the evening as well.

Thursday is a busy one, I'm being supervised (people do check up on me you know!)  in the morning and then it's off to Showcase in the afternoon, and a combination of Cubs, Youth Club and the Circuit Education and Youth meeting in the evening. I'll be there somewhere....

Friday Is a little more normal with GYM Youth Club on again in the evening after last week's mini break.

Sunday There are the usual groups for children and young people during the 10.30 services at the two Toton churches, though in a change to the published plan, I'm leading (and preaching at) the 10.30 service at Toton Methodist. Breathe Deeper is on in the evening for anyone in Year 7 and above at St Peter's.

And after all that it's just one more week to half term....

Have a good week and God bless,

Andy

Good afternoon anyone, is it just me or is it suspiciously warm for late January? A bunch of us from the two churches are away for the weekend and last time we went (same weekend 2 years ago) my bottle of Coke froze on the windowsill. I have my doubts it will be that cold this weekend....

However, before we get to Friday, there's the rest of the week to see through:

Monday I'm starting my day off a little early by taking this evening off as....

Tomorrow I'm at the full governors meeting at Bispham Drive in the evening which would normally be part of my day off.

Wednesday Cafe Breathe is on at Toton Methodist in the evening.

Thursday Steve (from the Stapleford Churches) and I will be in for Showcase at George Spencer and then youth club is on at Toton Methodist in the evening.

Friday There is no GYM Youth Club on this evening as all the leaders will be otherwise engaged with the church weekend.

Sunday There are no youth groups in the morning or evening this weekend.

Soul Survivor if anyone wants to book for this and get the cheapest price, please speak to me as soon as possible.

I'll be having a fairly quiet day next Monday, catching up on sleep after the weekend away, so look out for a slightly belated email next week ;-)

God bless,

Andy

I know I'm not normally this organised, ;-), but I'm off to a conference tomorrow so I'm getting ahead of myself with the weekly email! I'm away from tomorrow morning to Thursday afternoon, but thanks to our willing volunteers all the groups are happening as normal. Here's this week:

Monday - I'm heading to Wales to meet and serve the current crop of Time For God volunteers. I'll be part of the Film and Storytelling stream, as well as running a photography workshop and helping out in the cafe. 

Tuesday - Still at the conference, doing the same things.

Wednesday - Yep, still in Wales but Cafe Breathe is on in the evening, as is Toton Churches Council (the lengths I'll go to to avoid it I hear some of you say!) 

Thursday - I'll be back in the land of the English by lunchtime, and back in Toton in time for Showcase at George Spencer. By the time youth club comes around I might be fading a little, but I will be there!

Friday - Play and Praise is on in the afternoon, and GYM Youth Club is on at the usual time at Toton Methodist. 

Sunday - There's a great opportunity to hear about life in Africa on Sunday morning - Judy Acheson who has spent over 30 years working in the DR Congo is now living in the UK and will be speaking at the 10.30 service at St Peter's. Afterwards, there is a lunch for anyone to come along and enjoy as well as spend time with Judy. Breathe Deeper is on in the evening as well. 

While I'm away I will have email and mobile access, though signal apparently is a bit patchy, so I can be reached, and will be popping online from time to time, so if there is anything you want more info on, please do get in touch.

Have a good week and God bless,

Andy

Morning everyone, and welcome to another week.

We're back to "normal" this week with all our groups up and running, so this week looks like this:

Today I'm at George Spencer for a meeting about setting up a second weekly group, meeting at lunchtime on Mondays. 

Tuesday I'm on a day off

Wednesday Cafe Breathe re-starts after the Christmas and new year break, at Toton Methodist, for anyone in Year 9 and above. 7.00 pm to 8.30 pm. Jo Stephens, who has been curate at St Peter's for the last couple of years is moving on to Hucknall as part of the staff team there, and there is a farewell "do" at St Mary's, Attenborough from 6.30 pm., drop in any time up to 8.30 if you can.

Thursday Showcase is on again at George Spencer, if you've got chopsticks at home, you might want to do a bit of practice for this week.... Youth Club re-opens again this evening at Toton Methodist from 7.00 til 8.30 pm for Years 7 & 8.

Friday Play and Praise is on in the afternoon and GYM Youth Club is on in the evening for Years 3 to 6 at Toton Methodist. 6.15 to 7.45 pm.

Sunday The Toton churches have been working closely together for over 20 years now, and each year renew that partnership, and remember God's promises to us with a special service in January. This year, it is this Sunday coming, at 10.30 am at Toton Methodist, and all are welcome. At the start of this new year, where will God lead us and will we follow? Breathe Deeper is on again in the evening, at St Peter's, from 7.00 pm til 8.30 for anyone in Year 7 and up. 

Just a normal, quiet week then.... Have a good one!

God bless,

Andy
