Oxygen monday prayer mailings 23 06 08
Pray for the appointment of 2 paid workers
In last weeks prayer email I mentioned the excitement we have as we look forward to the future developments of Oxygen. Central to the initial stages of that future are the appointment of two (part time) paid workers. Both are exciting posts that build on years of hard work by the Oxygen team in the last few years. Although they are based with other agencies (YMCA and St Peters Norbiton) they are both to be undertaken in close conjunction with Oxygen and its team of Gap year workers and contacted young people. Both are part time (for around 20 – 25hrs per week initially), but previous experience tells us that there is the possibility for further work in future if desired. The first post we are looking to fill is the post of Project Leader of the Extended Schools club Rm1. Based at Hollyfield School in Surbiton and employed by the local YMCA you would be in charge of overseeing and running an after school club for 11-14 year olds 4- 5 evenings per week. The aim of Rm1 is to give young people, particularly those aged 11-14 a place to study, chill and play. Many of the young people who come along to Rm1 do so as they have been referred by the school or social services because they face complex personal and family issues and would benefit from extra support. The deadline for application for this post is July 11th. The second post is working with St Peters Norbiton, this role works at the other end of our work, seeking to take those young people that we have worked with further in discovering and following Jesus. Your role, employed by the church would be to work with the church and oxygen staff and volunteers to establish a new community of (previously unchurched) young people alongside the other congregations of the church. We are really excited by both these posts, the first works on the margins with those young people who need the greatest supports, the second works with the church to grapple with the question of how the church should disciple unchurched young people. Would you therefore pray for these two significant appointments, pray that the right people apply, that we are able to make the right appointments and that we are able to sort out the details needed.
