"Helping young people live lives of faith, hope and love through Jesus Christ"

New stuff coming your way...217 Tage her
 
Been a long time since I added anything here...! Here's a few things you might want to consider checking out:

Urban Saints were back at Ultimate Event again this year - great bands, loads of US merchandise shifted and we blessed a whole bunch of youth leaders with treats! We also previewed the new Emerging Leaders website and Award Scheme - check out the video at the group page or on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6Qbq...

We were also basking in the sunshine on the Isle of Wight for Westbrook's own 'Grand Day Out'. Were you there?

Spree is coming soon - http://www.urbansaints.org/spree - are you going with a group? If not why not? If you're 16 or over why not consider helping on the team...

Kinetic (leadership training for young people) and Studentscape (mentoring for those at or preparing for uni) are now available to buy - http://www.urbansaints.org/trainingp... - Check them out!

Finally, don't forget, you can still apply to be on this year's Re:Act team! Why not go on a UK mission this summer - taking hope and good news to towns all over the country. Check out last year's video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSE5x...

Ok - thanks guys! Hope to see you around the movement sometime this summer...

God bless
Paul

Right im gonna (try) keep this short an sweet..

This page is for you and we wanna give you the content you want on it..
Sadly we are not mind readers (however cool it would be) so you need to tell us what sort of content you want..

Some ideas we've had are:
Christian Music vids on the video box, a new one every week??
A list of Christian bands/artists to check out??
A Top 40 Christian songs type thing??
An Urban Saints Podcast??
Lists of upcoming gigs around the country??
(can you tell kenny an me are both musicians yet?? lol)

stepping away from the music
Maybe some resources for new Christians??
Daily Bible verses?? - working on this one as soon as i finish typing the blog..
Reviews from you guys on Urban Saints events like Spree and the National Gathering??

They are a few of our ideas on what we could do with the bebo page..
Now we want your input.. If there is anything you'd like to see let us know and we will see what we can do about it.. Also let us know what you think of our ideas..

Stay Blessed
Tom aka Re:CITER

Welcome to the newbies!591 Tage her
 
We'll get stuck into some more about the values soon but I wanted to give a quick shout out to all the new members - especially if you have joined up since finding us at The Ultimate Event this weekend. What an awesome day - great weather, top rides, awesome gig, tons of people, giant foam hands (my favourite bit!!)...

Please spread the word about this group - we're hoping to add some video clips & photos from the event and there will be more stuff like that soon too so watch this space!

What do you value?615 Tage her
 
Values. We all have them – even if we don’t know we do – but what difference do they make to us? What are they really all about?
Values are all about who you are. What you stand for. Why you make the choices you do. Why you live the way that you live. Values are also what connect us to people who are the same as us – cos no two people are exactly the same but any two people can have the same values. The values of a fanatical Man Utd supporter might be very different to those of an environmental campaigner but the two individuals might have some values that they share, especially if they belong to the same types of groups and share the same types of experiences…
For us, Urban Saints is more than just a name. It is a community. A shared experience with shared values. If you consider yourself to be a part of Urban Saints – whether you have always been in the movement since you were little or you’ve just gone on one holiday one summer – perhaps you feel a connection with our list of values? Do you hear the words ‘compassion’, ‘endurance’, ‘wisdom’, ‘commitment’, ‘integrity’ and ‘humility’ and feel a buzz? A feeling like these qualities are a part of you? Things that make you tick? If so, we’d like to explore these values with you over the next few weeks and months…

Urban Saints in Bebo-land!617 Tage her
 
Hey folks - here at Urban Saints it can sometimes take us a little while to catch on to things... So we are now, after many months of everyone else doing 'social networking', trying to set up a group for all our Urban Saints around the nations! Sorry it has taken so long!

Over the next few weeks and months, we'll be exploring the things that make us a movement - what makes us tick - and hopefully, what makes us laugh too! So watch this space to see how things develop, invite your Urban Saints friends to join and post your vids / thoughts about you and U.S.!
