Last week on the 7th December Paul Little, Paul Smith, Elaine Little, Julie Thomson, Jodi Wakefield, Mary Mitchell, Jake Little, Luke Hubball and two dogs walked from Julie's land to Keilder. We all had a fab time on that walk which also included people throwing snowballs and certain people tackling others into the snow. We all had such a fab time that it is a shame to see the snow go ha ha ha.
Afterwards we all returned to Julie's for some georgous sandwiches!!!!

Merry Christmas! Julie's update...
May you know God's blessing this Christmas time and throughout 2012.
Boulder Gang and Rock Solid Christmas Party today 4-6.30pm - lots of fun planned. Stepping Stones had their Cre8 4 Christmas on Monday - lovely to see 3 new children. Glitter galore and some fabulous Christmas crafts created by both parents and children.
A mad busy week - but things are slightly slowing down.. 55 Minute church on Sunday was brilliant! Jake was quiz master extraordinaire! Thanks to all who helped and who came along.
Refresh christmas Party on Tuesday night - apart from the storm we braved to get there, it was a lovely night. Next Refresh Meeting on Tuesday 20th for a Christmas reflection evening. Refresh meet again in the New Year on January 10th. Paul Little will be leading.
Grafted staff Christmas "do" yesterday - Bowling and a meal at carlisle was brilliant! Didn't know we had so many professional bowlers on the team!
and from me.... thanks to everyone who has supported Grafted over the last year, in particular the kids work and the volunteers. We have had a blast! It will be an interesting and very sad 2012 as we prepare to say goodbye to the Littles :( Exciting to see what the Lord has in store for us all though. Have a fantastic Christmas break everyone!

Soul Survivor
This year I am very pleased to say that we took a group down to Soul Survivor. There was 3 leaders and 9 young people. It was a fantastic time at Shepton Mallett near Bath where the weather was actually sunny for a while (though there was a little rain there too)
During the week there it really challenged those who had faith and got those thinking who didn't. The whole group took part in different seminars during the day and attended the main meeting as well where we had to endure bad jokes from the speakers Mike Pilivachi and Andy Croft, their talks were a lot better though. During the week there was also bands playing - LZ7, 29th Chapter and Dweeb were just a few and Matt Redman also made an appearance during a few main meetings.
I am also happy to say that on the last main meeting 3 of the young people that Grafted took down made commitements in front of everyone there (around 12,000 people) and they are carrying on asking questions and growing in their faith.
We are also looking at going back down for soul survivor next year but for now here are a few pictures that were taken whilst there this year

SPREE!!!!
Spree which was held 17th-19th June was a fantastic weekend. Grafted group took 33 young people up to Whithaugh Park and everyone had a great time even when it was raining!!! It really got the young people that we took up to think alot more about their faith and asked the leaders any qestions that they had.
I am pleased to add that no-one got washed out of their tents this year even though they did get just that little bit muddy!!
Everyone is looking farward to Spree in the borders next year :)
