This Week
On the Brightside Something For Everyone – Even FFFF When most people think of church they think of the classical historic white wooden building sitting out in a picturesque location, and we certainly have one of those. However there is a lot more than this romantic picture. The church is not a building, it is the people who come together to encourage and help each other in the adventure we call life. As a church we seek to foster a community in which people can be real about their life and help each other to walk closer with God. As such we have a large variety of opportunities to be community, from traditional services to contemporary style, small groups for support and encouragement, exercise classes, Music and Rhythm for Toddlers and much more. What is FFFF you might be wondering? It is a creative family event designed to bring families together for Fun, Food, Faith and Friendships. It is held on a Friday night once a month, with games, food and a time to explore something about faith. Food is always a surprise with each family contributing a dish, Fun is a mixture of games, challenges and sometimes a funny YouTube clip, Faith is a talk or video clip with discussion groups afterward, and Friendships, well they just happen naturally. For more info call 542 3694, email brightwaterchurch@gmail.com or visit http://waimea.nelsonanglican.org.nz/. Our mid winter dinner for the senior people in the Brightwater district will be held on Friday 10 August. If you would like to reserve a seat please ring Roz 542 3683. Brightwater Scout Group Waking up to a minus 2 degree frost in a make shift shelter, taking a car engine apart and holding an international cooking night and eating the results are just a few of the things that Brightwater Scouts have done in the last term. The aim of Scouts is to encourage the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual development of young people so that they may take a constructive place in society, by offering a challenging, fun programme to help the boys and girls develop new skills and interpersonal skills. It is a lot of fun and learning, not only for the Cubs and Scouts but also the leaders. In the next term we hope to look at learning to weld, making radios and a whole lot of other fun activities. If you would like to join in the fun Scouts (10 ½ - 15years old ) meet on Tuesday evenings and Cubs (7 ½ - 101/2 years old) meet on Thursday evenings. For more info call Guido 542 2122 or 021 494 694
