Kirsty and I walked into town this afternoon to pick up some basic groceries that we were running low on and while in the small Sainsbury’s store, I decided to pick up some Corona beer as it was offer. When we got to the checkout with our bread, milk, cream, tomatoes, cucumber, fresh chicken and [...]

Christmas Eve
I’m finishing wrapping up the presents in front of the fire and Kirsty is making her world-famous Brownies in the kitchen. I’ve been asked to give the all-age Christmas address at church tomorrow morning so am putting the finishing touches on what I plan to say. Something about Chocolate Sprouts I think! Enjoy your day [...]
Creative Worship: The Life Of Jesus
Last Sunday we ran a joint youth event with St Margaret’s Angmering and St Peter & St Paul’s Rustington called iWorship. The purpose was to hang out, have a meal and worship together allowing a chance for the youth to get to know young Christians from the other churches. It was a great event and [...]
River Crossing
This is less of a game and more of a simple logic puzzle. However by dressing up and acting out the scenario, our Ignite group (11-14′s) has had a lot of fun playing! Numbers: groups of up to 10. Around five or six works well. Suitable for: older children and younger teens (8-14′s). Preparation time: [...]

I subscribe to hundreds of different feeds from around the web ranging from youth ministry and human interest through to technology and [...]

Speed Pictionary
I mentioned this game before as it is one we’ve used quite a lot over the years. Because it’s so simple to play and requires hardly any preparation, it has become a back-up safety net for when we’ve got some spare time. However like anything, it can become boring if overused! Suitable for: most ages [...]
Resources Shop
You may have noticed a link appear at the top of the page to ‘shop’. This because I’ve added an Amazon Associates store to this website. Basically it’s an opportunity for me to promote books, resources and materials that I’ve found helpful in my youth work. Over time, the products will grow but for now [...]
Wet & Wild Human Bowling
This is definitely a summer game for outside but a firm favourite with the young people round here! We’ve used the Wet & Wild Human Bowling game every year as part of our big summer festival and even those who’ve done it many times still come back for more. Suitable for: most ages and abilities [...]
