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!

 

Prayer for young people of our town

We met last night and were led in prayer by the Youth of the town. Steve Dalley had 7 pointers for prayer which I would love to encourage you to pray for! They are:

1. Unity amongst the youth groups across the town.
2. Continued favour with the council
3. Relationship building with non-Christian youth groups and organisations
4. Specific locations, Cluny Square Bournes green (Newington Rd), and the Kursaal Estate.
5. What is on God's heart for Southend Youth to so next?
6. Pray for local schools. God's blessing and protection
7. For God to use the youth to LOVE.............. southend!

If you were with us thank you for joining with us to see the youth make a difference in our town. If not please continue to pray from where you are.

 

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)

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.
