Plaza Centre
Southchurch Road
Saturday 29th December

This years panto is based around the story of Aladdin.

Entry is £3 and all profit goes to supporting the work of Love Southend Youth in the local community.

Steve Dalley of SCF commented:
"It’s gonna be immense, although I do admit to being slightly biased. Last year’s event was a massive success."

Can you help?
To make is a success they need donations of any Chinese-based - anything 'chinese' that you wouldn't mind loaning them for the day (not anyone's old takeaway though!!). Battery powered chinese lanterns, a mangle, large boxes, chinese clothes, an aladdin style lamp, policemen costumes, truncheons, whistles, and jewelled curtains or glass chains - the sort that catch and reflect light that people hang in windows.

So is you can help contact Steve Dalley on steve@scfplaza.f9.co.uk

Living in a slum - for a good cause

Tough test - Peter Tryon and Del Thomas want to empathise with the homeless

by Michelle Archard - www.echo-news.co.uk

CHURCH members will be slumming it in a makeshift shelter, with only rice and lentils to eat - all in the name of charity.

For two days and two nights, five members of Southend Christian Fellowship will only have sleeping bags and the clothes they turn up in for warmth.

They will also face a walk to get water and have to carry it back to their slum in buckets.

The only luxuries will be a working toilet and a gas stove to heat their rations - two small meals a day.

Organiser Del Thomas, 25, said the group's rough couple of days were to show what some people had to go through.

He said: "We are doing this to raise awareness of poverty and the conditions at least one billion people worldwide have to endure every day.

"We also want to raise money for them through Soul Action, a Christian charity working with local people in slums in India, South Africa and Zimbabwe.

"I went out to South Africa with the charity in the summer and saw the type of poverty people live in."

Del, a teacher at Temple Sutton Primary, will be joined by youth worker Steve Dalley, 26, teaching assistant Jackie Rossi, 50, Southend High for Girls teacher Peter Tryon, 24, and assistant shop manager Jenn Burry, 20.

The group will arrive at the car park of Izod and Burnips store, in Southchurch Road, Southend, at 4pm on Friday, October 26.

Their first job will be to build a shelter from plastic sheeting and cardboard.

They will stay there until 1pm on Sunday, October 28, when they will host a celebratory lunch for any supporters who turn up.

The team must complete a number of challenges to receive two meals of rice and dhal a day.

However, the rules state if anyone turns up at the slum, the group have to offer them a meal.

This means the food could run out quickly because it is open to the public. Del said: "It will be really tough. We could end up very hungry by Sunday. The kebab shop just a short distance away will prove quite temping, I'm sure. But to live as poor people do, we must resist."

The event is being supported by Love Southend and local churches.

Slum Survivor at Southend Christian Fellowship

Hey Love Southend Youth,

October 26th - October 28th is going to be our Slum Survivor weekend ast Southend Christian Fellowship.

15 people (myself included) will be making and living in a slum in the Plaza Centre car park on Southchurch Road. The reason for this is to raise money and awareness about the 1 billion people worldwide who live in slums.

This post is being sent to see if you can help, there are FOUR ways to get involved:

1. Be a part of the slum - come down and visit the volunteers, see what the conditions are like. Maybe you have some connections to the press you could pass details on to them or their details on to me.
   
2. Pray - pray for the weekend, pray for protection and also for a heightened awareness.
   
3. Give visit www.justgiving.com/delthomas and donate as much as you can towards the cost. Every little helps.
   
4. Finally if you are on facebook join http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5014789671 and invite all your friends from facebook.

Lets work together to make a difference. Let me leave you with a word of scripture from 1 Peter 4 vv 8-11

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. 11If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

An Extreme Summer of Tuesdays

NB: Click on the photos above to scroll through the slide show

Summer 2007 saw the Love Southend Youth team in Southchurch pioneer a new idea called “Extreme Tuesdays”. The plan was simple, to devote one day a week during the school holidays to bless the people of Southend.

Previously, LSY has invested in the St Luke’s Ward, the Kursaal Estate (and nearby Southchurch Park), and the Newington Avenue area. We wanted to revisit as many of these areas as possible, to continue to develop good relationships with the churches and communities operating in those areas.

And so, a plan was formulated:

Tuesday 24^th July – Kursaal estate: games, activities, fun, acts of kindness
Tuesday 31^st July – more of the same!
Tuesday 7^th August – Community Beach Party
Monday 13^th August – Community Tea Party in St Edmund’s Community Centre
Tuesday 28^th August – Work parties and acts of kindness in St Luke’s ward.
Ongoing project – painting, decorating and other jobs in a local nursery.

We had decided to dedicate the whole day to God, and so from 10am to 10pm volunteers from churches and youth groups across Southend were invited to come and spend the day together; worshipping, having fun, receiving Biblical encouragement, guidance and focus, eating and most importantly seeking to express and demonstrate God’s love to our local community.

We received a pretty decent response, with an average of 20ish young people attending each Tuesday. The idea was also that those who were away on holidays at various points would be able to attend at least one “Extreme Tuesday”.

Many good works were achieved by the team. The Tea Party was a massive success, our teenagers worked so hard and always with a smile. As a result, we have been asked to hold these Tea Parties more often and in other areas too.

The Beach Party was good fun, not as many children as we had hoped for wandered over to say hello and to get involves, but those who did have much fun with us. There is definitely scope for repeating the event, but maybe in a different area next time.

The Work Party in St Luke’s ward found that many local residents were eager to put their efforts and endeavour to good use. To the extent that Love Southend Youth now has a database of local residents (mostly elderly or disabled) who have asked for assistance with every-day activities such as gardening, painting etc that they are simply unable to do by themselves.

Most importantly, those who volunteered were able to take something of God’s love and servant-heart into each area that they invested in. Whether at the nursery or on the beach, the teenagers of Love Southend Youth were able to show something of God’s love for their neighbours and community.

Well done guys, and massive thanks to all those involved.

Steve Dalley, on behalf of the Love Southend Youth planning team.

Extreme Tuesday's Launch Party...

Cluny Square Residents Give their thanks to Extremers

We have just received this from Del Thomas:

“I went to the Cluny Residents meeting on Monday as I promised….      

To start off with we were offered a huge appreciation for all we had done. John Barber mentioned the work we had done behind the shops which he said was monumental and an incredibly good effort even if it didn’t last long.  Then one of the of the residents pointed out what an incredible job we had done at St Edmunds Hall in clearing the soil at the back and how polite and hard working we all were. Anne Brooks then spoke after this and explained how we also went to resident's homes and also cleared out her greenhouse and truly appreciative she was of that job and seconded the fact we were all so polite. John then said we had worked incredibly hard and how he thought that the fun day we put on was extremely well organized.  He commented on how many residents came out and joined in, and how impressed he was with the impact we had on the area for those two days.

God bless
Del”

Well done guys!

Transformations Prayer Nights

How extreme: Free HUGS

So there is this phenomenon of free HUGS that is sweeping the world. I believe that many Free HUGS were given out over the extreme:UNITED week. Here is a video of the founder based in the USA that inspired the movement. But do remember to keep safe and only give out hugs in groups and never on your own - and of course only if the person wants a hug :0)



Video submitted by Del T, add your comments about this below.

Prayer for Town led by Young People

We are excited that the youth of our town will be leading the next transformations prayer meeting on Friday 20th April at 8pm at Westcliff Baptist Church.

 

Please come and be encouraged by what the Lord is doing through the youth of this town and encourage them with our prayers in all their activities.

 

God bless

Day 4: Thursday: Last day for this week

Well today was our last day of Extreme and it was another action packed day. We started off today in worship and Steve Dalley spoke to us about being a community and how important it is that we carry on being 'extreme' in our normal day to day lives. We then went out to our afternoon programme. There was no fun day team so instead the team had to work very hard up at Cluny Square (more on this in the seperate post, below!).

It was also the last days of the holiday clubs at Belle Vue and Southchurch Park. We have met a lot of people this week and hopefully we will have touched or maybe re-touched a lot of lives this week. The evening was finished with a club night at SCF. DJ Squeeky Clean played along with Resolute, a break dancing group. There were some old style tunes such as Jesus Freak and Jumpin' in the House of God and the night really impacted people especially Mike Mc clean!! All the delegates each recieved a certificate with a personal message on it. An example of which would be Andy Hart's (who has had his arm in a sling after getting in a fight with chip oil and losing!!), whose said `has single handedly helped out this week.'

It has been a good week, if you have any comments, videos or photos then email them to this website via the email address to the top right or post you comments to each post.

Day 4: An incident at Cluny Square

Thursday was clean up day for the Cluny Team. We went to St Lukes Community Centre and helped do some gardening and cleaning windows there and we also cleared an alley behind the row of shops on Cluny Square and also went into a couple of residents houses to do a couple of jobs which they requested. Below is a story of what happened with a couple of the local lads:

"In order to save time, we had split into two teams to start at 2 different ends of the alley and then we would meet in the middle. Now some of the boys (a PCSO later told me they were very well known to them and always caused trouble) who caused trouble yesterday came along and started egging the group of us at the other end to me. They then came down to me and i thought they were going to throw eggs at me. They stopped and asked me what i was doing so i explained i was clearing up the rubbish to make the alley look nice. They turned round and said why? So i replied `I am doing it as a favour to the community as an example of love.' One of the boys then turned round and said to me `I will show you a example of man love if you come back to my house' to which i laughed and said it is not quite the same thing, I explained we were talking about God's love. He said `well thats odd isnt it?' To which I said `Yes and what's odder is we all paid £20 to do this'. This really threw them and the conversation carried on as to why we would pay to pick up rubbish. We talked about the fun day etc. Anyway the boys went off and didn't egg us anymore which i thought was very cool. About half hour later they came back and actually started to help us. It was only for about 15 minutes but they were picking up litter etc. which just blew me away. It just goes to show what can happen if you challenge people's mindsets."

The PCSOs spoke to me today and they said how very impressed with the job we had done behind the flats and how clear the alley looked. Also local cmmunity leaders such as John Barber also commented on how great the job was. Finally check out www.ferndale.org.uk/news to find out more reaction from the Reverend Steven Dray.

Day 3: Wednesday: Kids clubs galore

Its wednesday and we are now three quarters through the week. Today was the last day at Cluny Square and although we had trouble with our water initially it all went off well and the children enjoyed it. Also we had a holiday club at both Southchurch Park URC and Belle Vue Baptist and both of them went really well as well. It was a great day had by all.

There must be more stories and picturs to tell and show. Email us your photos and videos to the address above. Post those stories on the comments below. Go on you know you want to!

First photo submitted: James in Bev's Sunglasses!

So what do you think? Have you got any more worthy snaps? Then send them in, I am sure there are more out there. Add your comments on this post below.

Day 2: Pig pens, Dr Who and fun days

Today was Tuesday and we all met for worship. Jezza was telling us how fantastic we all are and reminding us about Dr Who as well!?

We then put on an indoor fun day which went very very well at Belle Vue Baptist Church, on Southchurch Road. One of the guys said that he couldn't see how we could have improved on it at all, and that it was spot on. He has organised lots of Christian events so well done to the guys who organised this event!

Members of the public were asking for free hugs today as well which was cool (and surprising!). Over at Christchurch in Southchurch we ran a Holiday Club and that went really well. The Rev. Martin Harris came along to lend his creative skills. Dino led a posse down to Hamstel as well and they created a lovely pig pen (they claim it is a compost heap but we have our doubts!).

What do you think it was? And how did you think the day went? Are you any wiser on the whole Dr Who thing? Add your commenst below.

Day 1: The delegates go down to the park

Monday 2nd April was the start of the week proper. We started in the morning with a talk from Mark Churchward of SCF reminding us how we are all chosen by God. The t-shirts have been customised as always (with rips, felts and sparkles) and some people took last night's sermon to the extreme!

We had a fun day at Southchurch Park today which was great. All the old fave's were there as well as some new ones. There was a bible verse trail, the police came down and gave demonstrations and we also had some performers come and teach some children their skills. There were about 300 people who came through the gates and all of them had a brilliant time helped by good weather.

We also ran a kids club at Belle Vue Baptist.

Got any comments on the day? Were you a punter at any of the events? Or were you helping? Add your stories to the 'comments' section of this post.

No April fools: A view of the opening night, 1st April 2007

The opening night of extreme:United launched the week in a great way. We had a great time at Christchurch in Southchurch worshipping God and barracking Dino!! Tim told us all about the free hug society in Sheffield who wait around outside a shopping centre Saturday giving out free hugs. He told us that this week we are giving out free hugs to Southend.

Are you on extreme:United this week, why not give us your reports and comments on what you have been up to. Or if you are a supporter leave words of encouragment or written prayers of support by clicking on the comments section of each post to add your thoughts.

This Easter, Love Southend Youth is organising it's fourth outreach event and you are warmly invited to get involved. Entitled 'Extreme:United', this year's first event will include kids
clubs, fun days and of course, work parties. Each morning will kick off with giving glory to God and hearing what he has to say to us.

 

Each afternoon from 1 til 5 the teams will be setting up for and then running whatever job theirs is; be it football, litter picking, or even just praying with non-Christians. Then, after a dinner kindly provided by a local church, the delegates will get to hang out til about 9.30,
relaxing at churches running cafes, showing films or simply getting out the pool tables. YOU are offered the chance to join in on the blessing. The event will last for four days next week, and will have a launch night at Christchurch this Sunday evening (that's tomorrow!) from 6.30 til 8.

 

Even if you have just one afternoon free then you will be enthusiastically welcomed onto a team. If you are praying for the event, a team or an individual, then you are invited to come and join the delegates tomorrow night, at the morning worship sessions at Southchurch Park URC from 10am or even at the evening chill out sessions. Please note that you cannot be too wise, too childlike, too holy, too busy or too important to get involved - anyone from 11 to 111 is encouraged to be a part of God's anointing on Southend! If you would like more information or forms for Extreme:United then please contact Jacky Rossi at rossis4@hotmail.com, or just simply turn up tomorrow.

It's here... Extreme: United Easter 2007

Extreme: REBUILD has evolved for 2007 - introducing the all new Easter 2007 Extreme: United.

Taking place this Easter '07 over two weeks, here are the details as they stand:

Extreme: United Week A
This will be based in Southend High School for Girls during the week of Mon 26th to Friday 30th March. The Christian Union will be hosting a week of lunchtime sessions based on what the Bible says about our identity.

• Who are we?
• Where do we belong?
• How does God see us?
  

The Gospel will be shared each day and there will also be question and answer sessions, and testimonies from CU members, and a chance for people to respond to what they have heard. So get praying one and all that God will bless this week massively.

Extreme: United Week B
This will be similar to the Extreme: Rebuild program of Easter 2006. There will be two locations this year: Southchurch and Shoeburyness. Morning worship sessions will be held at Southchurch Park URC (tbc), and then after lunch we will be going out into the community to serve and love on the residents that we encounter. There will also be a range of events in the evening that give us the chance to let our hair down(if you've got any) and have some fun after a long day’s work.

Feel free to invite your mates to the evening events even if they are not involved during the day!

A full program will be posted on this site nearer the time – but the following have been already been confirmed:

• Monday 2nd April '07 – Southchurch Park fun-day - 13:30 to 16:00hrs.
  A range of entertainment including bouncy castles, water catapult, clowns and face-painters, police demonstrations, and much more.

• Weds 4th April – Cluny Square fun-day - 13:30 to 16:00 - entertainment as above.
• Thursday 5th April – work-party based in the Cluny Square area.
  We will be going onto the streets for litter-picking, alley clearing, and to complete other tasks requested by local residents. A chance to get down and dirty to bless and love on local residents.
  

So get in in your PDA, Mobile Phone, Diary My Space Calender and get involved.
The cost of the week’s involvement is £20 – which includes food, entertainment, and of course a FREE T-SHIRT (this year it will be a green one! very stylish!)
