What is J.O.N? No one really knows what the name is about. But what we do know is its an exciting one-off event happening soon! On May 1st we are co-hosting (with Youth 180) a day of fun and food at the King’s Lodge , our base just off Watling Street (the A5) in Nuneaton. Why are we doing this? We want to have a day of fun and young people to come and hang out with their friends. Activities will include: Tug of War, Inflatables, football tournament, ‘pampering’ for girls, Circus/Magic workshop and team games. There will also be a cooked meal. You have the choice between 2 set menus.

Menu 1: Stuffed Chicken with roasted new potatoes, salad and homemade lemon tarts or profiteroles;

Menu 2: Lasagna with Garlic Bread and chips, salad and homemade lemon tarts or profiteroles.

How much are we charging for this huge amount of fun and food? Only £3! If you want to come please call us at our office on 024 76 378 575 or speak to a Youth-180 worker and let us know which menu you would like; deadline for booking food is WEDNESDAY 28th APRIL. This is also on Facebook as an event – search for “The J.O.N. Event”.

One of the funnest times of the year – high energy, deep impact, wide open heaven… we love serving the precious 8-11 year olds at Spring Harvest!

This year our FireStarters programme was “FireStarters X-stream”, as our great friends Dave and Ali Summers from Rising Brook in Stafford stepped up to leading out. They did an awesome job!

Our theme was the story of Esther – looking at being unlikely heroes. It was wonderful to go on a journey with the young people as they, like Esther, gave God the “mess” in their lives, put Him first and realised they could be unlikely heroes, “born for such a time as this”.

Of course we also enjoyed jumping worship, games, workshops, creative prayer zones, crazy Caveman antics with Chi Chi and Moohah and raising money for a school in Nairobi, Kenya (our final total was £807.47). Bring on next year!
