This Sunday is the first meeting in our new venue: Burnholme Community College and at our new time of 3.45pm. We’re really excited about this new season in the life of G2 and hope you can join us this coming Sunday. Christian Selvertnam will be kicking off a new series based on the book of Ephesians.

“He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul” Psalm 23 v 2
I don’t know if you’re like me, always feeling that you have to be busy doing something. Maybe it’s work, maybe it’s around the house with the family, maybe it’s just stuff. Whatever it is, you find it hard to slow down, to relax, to switch off from the business of everyday life. You can’t stop yourself from checking Facebook or keeping your phone turned on. The verse above reminds us that it is the shepherd that chooses the path, prepares the pasture and protects us. Our role is simply to follow, feed and fellowship with him.
I am a primary school supply teacher, and I recently finished a 12 week contract at a school. As I hadn’t been there long, I didn’t make a fuss of the fact that I was leaving, in fact I only told my Year 5 class on my penultimate day.
One girl, Kelsea, who had had the attitude of a moody 13 year old since I known her, was surprisingly upset by my departure. It turns out that, despite the hard exterior, she really did like me being her teacher.
On my final day, I arrived at school at 8:30am to be greeted by a very excited Kelsea. She explained that she had got up early and emptied her money box of the £3.20 that was in there. She had rushed her breakfast and left the house extra early so she could go the shop and buy me a present.

This Saturday (3rd July) the York Schools and Youth Trust (YoYo) are doing a sponsored walk to raise money to support their work with youth in York schools.
They will be walking to every school within the York ring-road – which is 56 schools – and will be covering around 40 miles as a team (2 teams walking 20 miles each).
Dan Finn from G2, who leads YoYo, will be leading this walk.
