A couple of weeks ago, I received an email about this new resource for young leaders. I had a quick browse, but I needed to come back. Because I had a bit of extra time today, I decided to have a more in depth look at this resource.

It is a digital magazine called “Catalyst Leadership” presented as a flash application, but still very accessible. The topics are interesting, but what I really liked were the sharing of experiences from actual young leaders.

Anyway, I’ll let you decide by yourself, but I believe that you’ll definitely find something worth in it. A bit of a warning, there’s quite a bit of “relevant” advertising among the good stuff.

You can find it here: Catalyst Leadership.

Have a great weekend, and don’t forget to drop us line with your thoughts.

Hi there friends of NASA! I would like to wish you a very happy and blessed Sabbath.

This is the first Sabbath before Uni commences, so make the most of it! Enjoy your worship, fellowship, and peace with the ones you love (and will learn to love).

If you are away from home for the first time (or just homesick) remember that your church family is there for you. Make an effort to say hello to the people you meet. Remember they may be as shy as you at first, but a glowing smile will take you a long way.

If you are a local, be on the alert for newcomers, and make them feel at home. Who knows? You may meet your new best friend.

May this Sabbath be full of peace and joy!

As many of you know by now, Tyson Norris passed away on Thursday night after a tragic accident. From NASA we would like to offer our prayers and deepest sympathies to the family, and friends of Tyson.

Tyson was a lively person that lived his life to the fullest, and he will leave a deep void in our hearts. However, he was also a follower of Christ, and as such we have the assurance that we will see him again when our Saviour comes back.

Wallsend SDA church will be holding a special service today where we will comfort and support each other. So, if you are one of the many people grieving, please come and share with us.
