GSUS Live!

GSUS live in Secondary schools begins in Weymouth and Portland on 24th February at Budmouth before moving on to All Saints on 3rd March, IPACA on 10th March and Wey Valley on 24th March.

If you've found this site because you saw the link on a flyer from Gsus live...WELCOME!
I hope you had a great experience. If you want to find out more why not go along to one of your local churches or groups. This is the site for some of the C of E churches in Weymouth, particularly St Aldhelm's, Emmanuel and St John's. You'll find some details about that we do on the 'What's on' tab. You'd be most welcome to come along to any of our services, groups or activities any time or if you'd just like to talk to a minister or youth leader or you have some questions you want to ask then just send us an email and we'll get back to you to arrange something.

Reaching for the Stars!

The youth video project in now well underway...although it's changed a bit since we announced it just a few weeks ago. The stars who appear on screen in 'SpaceQuest - the miniseries' are not, now, the ruggedly handsome/enchantingly beautiful teenagers of our parish but some rather surprised looking puppets made of garden wire and polystyrene! Meet the crew of the starship Destiny:
Captain Troy Adamson and the rest of the crew will be voiced by the aforementioned lovely teens who, in the meantime have been hard at work creating sets that resemble the inside of spaceships. We've begun experimenting with 'green screen' effects to see if we can get our spaceships to zoom off into outer space. But mostly we've been spending hours stopping the miniature crew from falling over and going cross-eyed!

Hopefully by the time the children assemble for the first of our Holiday clubs at Easter at Emmanuel church the videos will be all filmed, voiced and edited with all special effects in place. Any young people who would like to come and help with the remaining filming are welcome. Please contact Catharine for times and dates.
