The Football Player
There’s a young man called Phil’, he lives on the local council estate and works as a delivery man. Phil is mad about football he’s played since he was able to walk and supports the local red team.
At the age of 18 Phil had a trial for a lower league team, and signed on to the team and began to play on a regular basis. Phil’ now earns good money, more than he has ever made before. He is popular, he’s seen by thousands of people on a match day, not just by the locals on his street, and he has loads of new mates.

Fathers Day
**
To All The Dads In The World. . .
To all dads who have dedicated time, finances and emotional support to their children, we want to say ‘Happy Fathers Day’ and to encourage you to never give up.
When the sun is bright and the kids are a joy to be with, when your heart aches to be with them, embrace every moment, enjoy every decibel of laughter, memorise every smile that your children deliver, and receive every embrace that they offer.
And, when times are difficult, and the cash is scarce, dig deep into your emotional vaults, and remember that your children still need you, your children still love you and they are counting on you.
In the hardest of times remember, your stronger than you know, and loved more than your children can express, you are their world and their support… your the one shaping, moulding, teaching and leading them.
And fathers of youths and young men and women, your still needed your still wanted and your encouragement still treasured.
Enjoy, embrace, and treasure your role as a Father. . .
You are loved.

Mens Anxiety, 3 Steps To Overcome
Anxiety is the silent leader in mental illness, our main ‘disruptor of peace’ Out of 40 million people affected, only 37% seek treatment.
This statistic is even higher in men as only 1 in every 10 men report experiencing anxiety and depression, and less than half reported their concerns or sought treatment.
In the 21st century, men, are raised to ‘just deal with stuff and move on’. yet somethings like anxiety can’t be removed by drinking or playing sports, and in most cases there aren’t the opportunity’s to discuss the effects of anxiety.

Workplace
Workplace is a social media communication tool that connects all members of Elim Sports Church (ESC). It uses familiar Facebook features such as live video, Groups and Chat to bring us all together, making teamwork faster.
Sometimes it can be difficult communicating with everyone at ESC, but Workplace is an efficient way to share information in a variety of ways.
Groups
We have created different groups to enable a diverse range of conversations to take place 24/7, from general chat to planning team events.
Groups are diverse and include; Outdoor Pursuits, Social Events, Racket Sports and Mens Health. Members can join as many groups as they wish.
Live Videos
Making announcements and chatting is made simple with integrated live videoing from one-one chats on mobile devices, to online team meetings for our groups.
For example, those interested in 6 aside football to those planning to travel to Lanzarote on our annual away week, can organise group chats through the Workplace live video system.
Text, video, images and GIFs
Workplace also incorporates the latest innovative methods of interactive media, making our communication interesting and engaging. This transforms the way we share devotional material to the way we celebrate ESC members personal events, and anniversaries collectively on-line.

Hot cross buns. Why do ‘you’ eat them?
Here are 3 of the stories that are told about why we eat hot cross buns.
What do you think?. . .
1. A 12th-century monk introduced the cross to the bun.The origins of hot cross buns may go back as far as the 12th century. According to the story, an Anglican monk baked the buns and marked them with a cross in honour of Good Friday. Over time they gained popularity, and eventually became a symbol of Easter weekend.
2. Hot cross buns gained popularity in Elizabethan England.Towards the end of the 16th century, Queen Elizabeth I passed a law limiting the sale of sweet buns to funerals, Christmas, and the Friday before Easter. The English were deeply superstitious, believed the buns carried medicinal or magical properties, and were fearful of those powers being abused. Some even believed that buns baked on Good Friday would never go stale.
As a way to get around the law, more and more people began baking these sweet buns at home. Not only did they grow in popularity, but the law became too difficult to enforce and was eventually rescinded.
3. Superstitions about hot cross buns baked on Good Friday.There are also more than a few stories that indicate hot cross buns were baked on Good Friday for superstitious reasons. One tale states that buns baked on this day and hung from the rafters of a home would ward off evil spirits in the coming year. Another talks of these buns protecting sailors from shipwreck, while off at sea. Yet another version mentions that sharing the bun with a loved one guarantees friendship in the coming year.
I eat them because they are an excellent snack, especially when hot.
What do you think? What are the stories that you have heard? And why do you eat hot cross buns?
