What a good week.

Just finished the final bits to my sermon for Sunday - Joseph God intended it for good. What a great story it is, God remaining faithful to Abraham's promise of a nation if only we could have faith like that.

We have had a great week this week with assemblies at Croftlands Schools, followed by Christianity Club at Low Furness School and to finish off lesson 2 of Bible Explorer (which I'm still being trained in).

The assemblies have been about New Beginnings so we took Gary along who started a story in the middle and then at the end before eventually starting at the beginning which is in fact a very good place to start (you could write a song about that). We used the example of Zacchaeus and how he turned his life around and started again a new beginning.

My BX training is going well I had an hour or so with my trainer before watching her on Friday as she told the story of Moses - brilliantly. I can't wait to get into the schools an have a go myself so I'm rather busy collecting things together to use as props for my stories which I'll need to find boxes for - there might be a little space somewhere on the floor of the office I'll have to see if I can find it!!

God Bless you all this week.

New Year Catch Up

Well what can I say God is Good.



We are now firmly back into the swing of things following the Christmas break and enjoying every aspect of the work we are doing. We have a very full time-table of events and assemblies fill in between now and Easter, they range from school assemblies, to Christianity Clubs, Bible Explorer plus training as well as going to the Cubs at Dalton again - not to mention all the normal stuff we do week by week. Today we had a very positive chat with the headteacher of Ulverston Infants School (Church Walk) and we have a date for our first assembly there which is great. Mark started his Bible Explorer Training on Tuesday and has today been to watch lesson 1 of the 5 that make up the whole of the Old Testament - he is very excited about the training and indeed about becoming a Bible Explorer Instructor. Other news church have signed up to the E100 programme and that was started last week in Church with most people taking the books and saying that they would like to follow it. God is really working His purpose out - continue to pray for the work we are doing and check out the web site and facebook for updates and events throughout the year.
