Saturday, 4 January - YWAM Prayer Meeting
Frinton Churches have three young people volunteering with YWAM in Australia and New Zealand (Nathan Edgell, Alex and Jessica Bryant)! Alex is now married to Tori, a student at YWAM Toowoomba, Australia so we can pray for the four volunteers.
Please come and catch up with their latest news at this regular YWAM prayer meeting in St Mary’s Lounge at 9:30am.
YWAM's motto is Know God, make Him known. Nathan and the others have been involved in many different projects to engage with that aim.
We normally meet from 9.30am until 11am in the Lounge on the 2nd Saturday of each month and start the meeting with tea and cake!

Free workshops lasting 30 minutes will run on alternate Fridays in January and February, 5:55pm on January 10th in the Lounge.
Have you ever asked yourself how do beats and pulse work? What is notation all about and what are all those peculiar looking signs?
As for B flat and go sharp naturally, who can? How long are rests?
How can I sight-sing confidently?
Please invite anyone you think maybe interested, young or not-so-young.

The Narnia Experience

If you have an artificial Christmas tree and are willing to lend it for this event in February, then please let me (Sam) know, as I try to put together the wintry forest of Narnia for the set.
Please make sure you label the box and tree clearly with your name,
so we can get the correct tree back to you.

21 - 23 February - Youth Trip to Abernethy
Sam & I are taking a group of Young people and their families to Abernethy Nethybridge, a Christian Outdoor Centre in Scotland in February 2020. There are currently 20 of us in the party. Sam, being a ski instructor, thinks we wouldn’t want to go for any longer than a few days.
We greatly value the youngsters in our church and to make it possible for them to go on this residential trip, we have run various events to raise enough money to cover the costs of the young people. We needed to raise a total of £2500 and we are so 
pleased to say that we have hit our target!!
With Eva(!), Sam and I have already done a sponsored walk from Clacton Pier back to Walton (7 miles of walking!!) and some of those going on the trip did a whole day of car washing which raised £221!
There was a Quiz Night on Saturday, 7 September and we held a coffee morning on Saturday, 23 November which went incredibly well!
The young people have done so well in organising and running these events, we can’t wait to head up to Scotland on the 21 February.
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed and supported the young people this year as they were fundraising.
If you have any questions, please contact me by email. - Lauren
