What an amazing week - some young people and adults strengthened their faith and some young people found faith - it was ‘awe-some’. The retreat used the mediums of music and drama, as well as worship 3 times a day and 4 on Wednesday (with the Eucharist) to introduce to some and develop in others a closeness to our Lord. The Closing Worship was a fabulous spiritual expression thro’ the talent of some very gifted and delightful young people. If you weren’t there you missed something so special and inspirational.St. Michael’s College made us really welcome and the Principal, his wife and the Business Manager supported us in the worship - that was much appreciated by all. Watch this space for next year’s YES Res details. Pam

The next YES takes place on Sunday 28th September 2008 at St Michael’s Abertillery. The service starts at 6.00 pm and the doors are open from 5.30pm.
We’ve had a great time over the last 2 Saturdays rehearsing the music for this YES, and the enthusiasm and energy of the young people of Monmouth Diocese has been a joy to behold. Every parish that has young people taking part should be very, very proud of what this talented group of singers and instrumentalists has put together. Please do turn up and support them on 28th.
For those taking part in the service, here are the details of the rehearsals this coming weekend.
Saturday 27th - music rehearsal at St Michael’s Abertillery from 3-45pm to 6-00pm. Please arrive in good time so we can get everyone seated and start promptly. Attached is a map with directions to St Michael’s, and the nearest parking. Please bring a music stand if you have one - we now have so many musicians that we’re running short of stands!

Sunday 28th - drama rehearsal (again at St Michael’s) starting at 2.30pm. Again please arrive early as we need to give Jenny time to work with everyone to repeat the magnificent performance from the residential course. The final music run through will follow the drama rehearsal, please be ready to start at 3-45pm. Don’t forget to wear your YES shirt and black trousers.
See you Satuday, and remember
God is good - all the time!
and
All the time - God is good!
Mike
PS - here’s just one of the photos from the recent YES residential course. This was actually the end-of-course line-up, following the closing act of worship at St Mary’s Bute Street, Cardiff.
