Hey people,
Another action-packed week draws to a close and an even busier one starts. Tons going on, now pay attention 007…
Last week:
On Sunday Nathan and those who were there talked about the people of Israel disobeying God in the Old Testament, and about how God warned the Israelites through the prophets, before sending them away into exile. They talked about how God expects the people of his covenant to behave, and ended the session with a discussion concerning God's anger, and watched this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6_3Va-X1pk which is great and worth watching (good bit on righteous anger). I think it ties in with a thread on the bulletin board about how church needs more men. In the same thread I challenged Nathan to a fight to the death (still waiting for laser quest, or other reasonable excuse)- the bulletin board is awesome and everyone should go visit!
On Sunday evening there was Fusion. The Fontainebleau lot failed to turn up. Pfft. Anyway, much amusement was had- if you weren’t there, you missed out on multi-person skiing (the MAN-TEAM won, just to rub it in), unbelievably amazing chicken, and a very good (and funny) talk about talking to God to your friends by an outside speaker. There were also lots of people there, including a few new faces, which was great.
My crystal ball tells me:
Friday evening- MADAGASCAR 2!!!!! Meet at St Quentin en Yvelines Ouest Cinema at 20h15, or miss out on penguins…
Saturday- from 10h00 onwards, in the youth room, make Christmas cards to sell at the Christmas market the next day- this is quite important!
Sunday morning- no youth group :( there will be a nativity play in the morning instead. After the morning service, we're holding a stand during the Christmas Market. We need volunteers to staff it.
Sunday evening- Carol service, followed by the Christmas Market stand again.
Friday 19th- after Carols Under the Stars, YOUTH SLEEPOVER. “Invite all your friends! Get dancing shoes on! Boom baby! It's awesome! Yeah! Yeah!” according to Nathan. He’s right; it will be awesome, because I will be there to make it so… I think (might be in L.A.)
And then it will be Christmas, when over-eating and woolly jumpers become not just prevalent, but socially acceptable! I can’t wait.
More news about the next Fusion dates in 2009 to come, watch this space. Well, not this space exactly, it might be above or below slightly, but y’know.
Don’t forget- Soul Survivor meeting is on Sunday the 11th after the morning service.
Lastly, apologies to Clare Kenchington for spelling your name wrong last week- my mum’s middle name is spelt the same way, I really have no excuse…
Have a truly excellent week, all of you, and good luck to those with interviews!

Hey everyone,
Past events:
> Sunday morning- talk was about how the Israelites disobeyed God, the ensuing exile, and God’s anger. This video was watched http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6_3Va-X1pk
> Sunday evening- the game was multi-person skiing (don’t ask) and the talk, about introducing one’s fellow man to God, was excellent.
Future events:
> Saturday morning, 10h00- come and make Christmas cards to sell.
> Sunday morning- no youth group. Christmas market stand after the service.
> Sunday evening- Christmas market stand after the carol service.
> Friday 19th- Youth sleepover. Will redefine awesome and epic.
And then, merry Christmas!
(Soul Survivor meeting is on the 11th after the morning service)
Apologies to Clare Kenchington for spelling your name wrong last week…
Have a smashing week. Until next time,
Ed

Hi everybody! (hi dr. nick)
Introducing Ed, your temporary newsletter writer- I’m giving Nathan a hand with it until February or so. Apologies in advance for total lack of accents on French words and obscure cultural references.
So, without further ado-
Last week :
On Saturday there was the soiree Pulse. I wasn’t there, so can’t really tell you what it was like, but those who went (a whole bunch of people) said that it was really epic and worth going to. The next one is on the 31st January in Versailles. The website is here (click here).
On Sunday morning Nathan (allegedly) talked about the Exodus, and how God took Israel out of slavery in Egypt and brought them into freedom in the land of promise, just as God took us out of slavery to sin and into his glorious light through the death and resurrection of Christ. Good story actually, worth reading; lots of excitement, such as manna- the closest modern-day equivalent to which are probably Claire Kenchington’s cinnamon rolls. Imagine living off those for 40 years. Yeah.
In the swirling mists of the future:
Next Sunday: FUSIOOON!! No, not the Japanese restaurant. Last one of the year, and worth going to because the Fontainebleau youth group (that I used to be in) is coming along too! That means Katherine! We love Katherine! Hilarity will certainly ensue.
Madagascar 2 (Escape 2 Africa): This was going to happen on the 6th, but apparently some people can’t make it, so it might be changed to the 13th… what do we think people?
Also on the 13th: the Mr. Boogies Christmas party might not happen because Church is rather busy around then. Nathan is going to talk to Catherine Fourel about whether it can be squeezed in around all the kids’ activities, but if it can’t, then it’s off- unless somebody has a big house that it could be hosted at? “All we need is a good Hi-Fi system, a couple of TV sets and space to dance”, according to Nathan. (I would volunteer my house, but it’s a bit of a trek (expensive trains too), and my mum would go completely bonkers)
14th Dec: there’ll be a Christmas card market stand. On the morning of the 13th there will be a card-making workshop for those who are feeling exceptionally festive, or you can make them yourselves at home. Nathan says that we need about 100, but if you make more you can always give them to your mum (and then ask for money). There also might be Christmas-tree-shaped cookie and/or fudge making, but this, apparently, depends on the recipe.
11th Jan: Soul Survivor meeting after the morning service.
That’s all folks. Have a super week and see you Sunday.

Hey all!!
Ah, what a relaxing week-end: no youth group on. Let me tell you: I don't like relaxing week-ends! I miss you guys!! So to compnsate, this week-end we have a massive load of stuff going on:
First of all, Saturday. We're going to Laser Quest. The place is in Coignières, and the address is
Chemin des essarts
78310, Coignières
and here's a map: http://www.laserquest78.fr/LQ78-plan.pdf
So far, there are a lot of young people coming, but there is up til' now no transport... Could any parents or drivers please make themselves known so that we can organise transport please? Otherwise, we'll go by train.
To sum up, we're meeting at church at 12.30 for pizza. Bring 20?. If you don't want pizza, you can either meet us at church at 13h30, or at Laser Quest at 14h00. Bring 12?.
And then on Sunday morning, normal activities resume after last Sunday's awesome On Your Marks service! We'll be talking about the fall, and in Jolt in any case, we'll be watching a video and listening to some music... I hope that Maz can match that for Impact! Otherwise, Jolt will have no choice but to gloat at Impact... Unless you choose to not gloat, which is maybe nicer, but quite so fun... ;-)
And in the evening, straight after the Five Thirty Service, we have Fusion!! It's going to be great fun with great food, and some quality time with Youth Group and co. I really recommend that you come along. You'll be missing all the fun otherwise... And that would be sad.
So voilà, that's what's on next week.
And then don't forget that on Saturday the 29th, @ 7.30 in Elancourt, we have a soirée PULSE, which I really couldn't recommend more highly!! It's really going to be top stuff, so don't miss out.
In other news, it's Anna's big 18 this Friday, so I think that we should overload her Facebook page with messages from everybody.
And I believe that that is all. I'm sure that there's something else that I'm forgetting, so maybe expect another e-mail in the next day or so, once my amazing wife, or someone from Youth Group will have reminded me what it is that I'm forgetting.
See you all really soon, and have a great, blessed week.

Errata!!
Sorry, I made two mistakes in my e-mail today.
first of all, I forgot the attachments, so here they are!!
The other thing is that I said that next week we're going to look at the fall. In fact, next week is On Your Mark's family service!
Voila!
See you soon, Nathan

Hello everybody.
Well I've just had an awesome week-end.
Sunday was really good fun. In the morning, we had a quick glance at creation, and how it affects the way that we live our lives. I've joint a pdf. file with the basic stuff that we looked at on Sunday, so that those who weren't there can be in touch. Next week, we're going to take a look at the fall (not the american word for "autumn", the thing that happened because of Adam and Eve). Then the evening service was really good fun. Followed by Fusion, which was great. Beki lead us in a puzzle, which I've also attached the puzzle so that those who did it on Sunday can complete it if you want, and so that if you weren't at Fusion you can have a look at it. I was really encouraged by how good God was to me over the week-end, and how well everything went on Sunday!
And congratulations to Marion, Anna and Nick's team, who won, with 22 finds out of 30, and to the close runners-up, Julie, P.-J. and Philip with 21 finds!! And well done to the rest for taking part!! (I'm such a good Christian, congratulating people for taking part!)
There are a few things that I'd like to bring your attention to this week:
First of all, I'd like to remind you of two things in two weeks time: On Saturday the 22nd, we're going to Laser Quest. Meet at 12 at church for Pizza, and we'll be heading for Laser Quest around 13.30, aiming to get there at 14.00. The price will be 20? for Pizza and two LQ sessions, 17? for pizza and 1 LQ session, 12? for no pizza and 2 LQ, and 9? for no pizza and one LQ.
And then Sunday afterwards, we've got Fusion in the evening.
A few other dates for the diary:
29th of November: Soirée PULSE in Elancourt. Book the date, it's going to be really good. Two really good friends of mine are doing the worship and the talk, and they're both very gifted. I highly recommend it. We should be able to organise transport if that's the issue for you. It's free of course.
And a quick reminder concerning Soul Survivor: the final date for booking up for the low rate is January the 31st. If you want booking forms, you can contact me. I'll be centralising booking forms so that we can easily do a joint booking.
We're going to have another meeting before then. I suggest Sunday the 11th of January, directly after the morning service. If this date doesn't suit you, could you please get back to me very quickly, and we'll change the date if it's inconvenient for a fair amount of people.
That's about it for this week.
I hope that you have a great week.
Nathan

Hello, hello, hello!!
How are you all? I hope that the holidays have treated you as well as they have treated me! But, well, back to school on Thursday...
But here's some good news: Next Sunday, we're starting a new series of studies, and if you want to find out the theme, then you'll just have to turn up!!
The rest of the news is fairly brief:
On November the 22nd, we've got our next social!! We're going to go to Lazer Quest, in Coignières. There's a lady's parayer breakfast in the morning, which I know that some members of the youth group are gong to, so what could be a really good plan is to meet at church from about 12h30, and we can have some take-away pizza from speed rabbit, and then drive on to Coignières around 1h30 p.m. aiming to get there around 2 o'clock.
The fare would be around 20?: 12? for two sessions of Laser Quest (bring 9? if you only want to play one session), and then provide another 9? or so for pizza.
If you don't want to come for pizza, then you can meet us at church around 1h30 p.m. or at Laser Quest itself around 2 p.m. But then who wouldn't want pizza??!!
So that's the plan. However, this means taht we are relying on cars. So if any of the parents or the older youth could drive, that would be a really great help. You can play Laser Quest if you like, if that's a good enough incentive to make you come!!
But last and most certainly not least, next Sunday evening, we have got Fusion!! It starts straight after the evening service, so the best thing to do would be to come to the evening service, sing loads of the songs that we learnt @ Soul Survivor this summer, and then stay on for the fun and madness of Fusion!
I guess that that's all for now folks. Hopefully by next week, I'll be able to announce that the youthgroup webpage is shining new. Beki's been working on it, and it's looking good, and it should be online within days.
I hope that you all have a great week, and that God makes his face to shine upon you and your lives!!!
See you next Sunday!!
Nathan

Hi everybody!!
Aaaah, I'm loving this brisk, fresh, cool weather. I'm strange, I know. But I actually enjoy autumn very much.
I had an awesome week-end. Pierrefonds was amazing. At least two people came to Christ, which is awesome news. I had a great time, and the only thing that I lacked was to have some young people from St. Mark's to share the experience with... A bit dissapointing, but I'm sure that you'll come by the thousands next year!!
Here's this week's news. I'll be quick.
There's no youth group on, as it's the holidays, this Sunday. From the Sunday afterwards, we'll be starting a new series of studies, from an excellent book, called SUbstance, which I'm very excited about. I really encourage you to make the effort out of bed on Sunday morning, because we're going to be going through very interesting stuff.
In other news, I've been calling up retreat centers to try and find a place where we could hold our youth retreat and they're all booked up. So I'm going to ask Paul if we could consider having it at church, exceptionally. We'll have a better venue next year if I start preparing it way in advance. On the other hand, if you know anybody in church who has a holiday house not too far from Paris where we could go, it would be awesome if you could put them in contact with me. We were hoping to have it around December time, but we're still flexible for that.
And then in other news, on Saturday November the 29th, there's a soirée PULSE on in Elancourt. A good friend of mine, Nicolas Grandemange who's been a massive spiritual mentor for me is doing the talk so I'm really excited about that. Keep your evening free!!
Good news: we have cooks for the next two Fusions (9th and 23rd of November. Save the dates!!), so if anybody would like to volunteer for the 7th of December, we'll be all booked up until the new year cookwise, which is awesome. Any takers for the 7th of December gap?
And finally, I've been challenged lately by a blog post by one of my favorite preachers to start a blog myself. I'll be talking about anything and everything, like most bloggers do, but mainly about God, as most sensible bloggers do (and there aren't very many of those...). So you can keep up to date with my posting on http://lambertspace.blogspot.com/. There's loads of space for your comments.
Voila for the news.
See you soon,
Nathan
