(MATCHES Stream)
Have you ever had a friend whose parents are really cool and just let anyone come and hang out after school? Back in the day, it used to be called 'Open House', and it meant everyone was welcome to come and just chill...
...And every Wednesday of term time, the ignite centre is Open for You, and its totally FREE to come in!
From 3:30pm to 6:00pm, anyone in school years 7 to 11 is allowed to drop in any time you like with their mates and enjoy:
the ignite cafe
(serving everything from chocolate to fanta to toasted sandwiches and back again!)
Consoles - PS2, Wii and xBox 360
(games available include Guitar Hero World Tour, SingStar, Dancing Stage, Burnout...)
Activities - Table Football, Pool, Table Tennis, Jenga, Basketball and more...
(if you come often enough, you might even be able to beat one of our adult helpers!)
Space to Just Be With Your Mates
(some of the comfiest chairs in all of Loughton are in the ignite centre)
Also, watch out for our special sessions that appear once in while, which in the past have included everything from photo shoots for magazines to graffiti art workshops!
ignite Open House runs every Wednesday of term time...
"You are here to be light... God is not a secret to be kept."
A short note to explain our short quote...
This is something that a guy called Jesus from a place called Nazareth said, recorded in a book (sometimes called a 'gospel') about Him written by a guy called Matthew about 1900 years ago. Jesus spoke in a language called Aramaic, and Matthew wrote in a language called Hebrew, so it's been translated a bit since it was originally spoken. This translation of Jesus' words is recorded in a version of the Bible called "the Message". We think these words are *really* important; everything ignite does is about letting young people know that they are here to be lights shining in a dark world. It's pretty cool really to think that what one person said nearly 2000 years ago is still changing people's lives even today...
