What A great time was had by all who attended the first Ypod Surf Camp. Here are some great photos of the event. If you attended please comment on the camp below.

yPod is our youth group for people who are the age of school years 6 to 10. We meet each week at Sylvania Anglican Church on Friday Evenings at 7.30pm till 9:00pm.
During this time we will socialise and get to know each other, check out the Bible and have some supper. It’s great to hear from God in the Bible and pray to him as well, and it’s heaps of fun as we do this together.
If you’re someone who knows Jesus well or even if you don’t know a thing about God, Jesus and the Bible, then yPod is the group for you!)

Please contact the church office for more information. 9544 7186 or ouroffice@sylvaniaanglican.org

There have been some changes to youth groups at Sylvania Anglican for 2008. Slice is continuing this year during morning church with some familiar faces and some new ones. While excitingly, youth group will start this Friday night. Stay tuned for more information being put on this website soon. In the meantime you could ring the church office (9544 7186) for more information. Hope to see you at one or both of these groups.

The scientists are talking about it…  The politicians are talking about it…  Now SLICE is going to talk about it too!

This Sunday, the first of our “SLICE… by request” weeks, we’re looking at…

GLOBAL WARMING

What is it?  What does it have to do with God?  What should Christians do about it?  Should I be worried?

We’ll talk about these questions and more, so come along to SLICE this Sunday 9th September and check it out

Its been great to check out the book of Colossians together at SLICE!! This week we are going to look at what it means to be FREE in Christ.

There are 3 more weeks of Colossians, then we are going to be having… SLICE BY REQUEST.  For the last three weeks of this term Jamie, Amy and Felicity will talk to us about a topic from the bible that YOU choose.  So you might be thinking… “I’ve always wanted to know what the bible says about….”  Well whatever it is, this is your chance to find out!  We’d love you to suggest some topics for these weeks… post a comment and let us know

Hey guys, once a term the youth groups from all around the area get together for YOUTHSURGE. The next one is on 24th August… that’s only 2 weeks away!

This is an awesome night for two reasons:

1. All the things that are good about SLICE: the Bible, prayer, music and Christian fellowship;
2. Young people from all around the shire are there and we realise we’re not alone at Sylvania on Sunday mornings at SLICE - we’re part of the HUGE body of Christ.

It’s also a cool Friday night out and we’ll drive to St Pauls Menai together from our church.  Leave 7pm, return 10pm.

To welcome the sunshine and the new term, we’re having a BBQ lunch next Sunday the 29th after SLICE. So we’ll kick off at the usual time, 10AM, beginning our new series on Colossians. Colossians is a letter Paul wrote to the church at Colossae and is full of good stuff!

When (regular) SLICE finishes at 11.30 the fun will continue and we’ll share some lunch until about one. Parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents and especially friends are more than welcome.

Oh, and if you can, please bring $3 for lunch. See you there!

Hey guys, we’ve been talking about creating a short film for the Christian Short Film Festival: Ignite for a few weeks now. Time’s running out, let’s make a movie!

Basically we need to choose:
a) a passage of the bible that has the idea of light in it and fits one of the 7 themes: Grace, Humility, Justice, Miracles, Sacrifice, Unity, Wisdom.
b) a great way to make a film based on it. It can be any kind of movie as long as it’s under 5 minutes.

We need YOU GUYS to tell us what you want to do. This is something we’re going to do as SLICE. So post any ideas, any thoughts, anything you think would be good for our film. Don’t worry about the words you use, just hit post!

This Saturday the 23rd, SLICE is heading across the road to the church to make havoc. There’ll be food, drink, awesome time with your pals and a whole lot o fun. We’ll even go for a maccas run in the morning before SLICE starts at 10am, to get some nutritious vittles.

7pm Saturday night. Bring your sleeping gear, warm clothes, 5$ and money for breakfast anything you can make fun with, a pen and a bible (if you have one) and your imagination. And don’t forget your permission slip. Cause Kansas is going bye-bye.

So, it’s 4000 BC, and God is hovering over a void, and he says, ‘let’s do something’. So he creates a planet called Earth, a bunch of bright stars and a strange little creature he calls man.

He tells Adam and Eve, he says, ‘Look at everything I’ve made you. You’re absolutely free to do anything you like. But don’t touch that tree’, and he points to this tree in one corner. It’s not glowing, and it definitely isn’t fenced off. But God said not to eat its fruit.

So Adam and Eve are there living happily, and gardening. One day Eve is off strolling along the river bank and this snake comes along. He opens his mouth and says…
