11th February to 15th April 2001
Please try to bring a Bible with you each week. In order to make Bible study easier, we are recommending
that people who are thinking of buying a bible go for the Youth Bible. This is a modern translation (the New Century
version) and also contains modern explanations and examples to help understand what is being taught.
All meetings will be held at 165 Cold Overton Road, Oakham starting at 8.15pm unless we tell you otherwise.
I couldn't decide what to do this evening, so I thought we'd do a session on decisions…should we plan everything? Or just wing it and decide things as they come up? And how do you make sure that you make good decisions?
"All you need is love…" according to the Beatles, and advertisers and TV program makers for most of the last thirty years. The bible talks about it a lot as well - the old testament has an entire book devoted to it. Is it really all we need? Does the bible allow you to enjoy it? What if you can't find anyone, or don't want to tie to one person at the moment? Does this make you abnormal?
This one I might actually be able to find - and I won't be there! Have a good RYP, but I am afraid we won't be around afterwards on this occasion. Tell us all about it next week!
Just why do people fast? Monks do it regularly. The bible mentions people doing it in a number of places. What do people do it for? What does it mean? Should we fast? Or at least give up something for Lent? And why should we do it?
How much do we know about what we believe in? Can we explain it to other people? And could we answer questions about our beliefs if we were asked? This game of non-trivial pursuits helps us to look at what we do and don't know. Loser gets thrown in the pool. Only kidding, Sophie...
And anyone who remembers that is older than I am…bring a song on CD or a clip from a film (DVD only, I am afraid - let us know if you can't get what you want on DVD, and we'll see if we have it or get it from the video shop) that illustrates a Christian theme, or something that reminds you of your belief. Be prepared to tell us why you have chosen it!
Right, I am going to get there on time this time. We are not going to go view Corby, Kettering or anywhere else. Which probably means I'll end up following Andy…
A chance for you to get answers to all the questions Andy and I have dodged not had time to give a full answer on over the last few months. Our experienced panel will be ready with their opinions and advice. Any questions in advance will give them more time to think - questions to Martin please.
Just a chance to think about Easter, and what it means for us personally. And maybe wonder why this is different to the way some of our friends think about Easter.
Happy Easter! You can have this one off. Just to give you plenty of time to work off the chocolate…

Suggested date at the moment - unless anyone has major complaints. We could go back to Wells, or somewhere else - let us know what you think!
Challengers are going to Soul Survivor 'A' this year, and both Andy and I will be able to make it! Not that any of you are ever anywhere near our site, anyway…forms available from Martin soon, so that we can get our bookings in.
