It's a bit of a funny ol' place at the mo.
There was a big funeral at Church yesterday - hard, because one of the young people had to burry his dad. Hard, because it's a bit close to home with my family at the mo too.
Yet there's good stuff happening too - both Churches are moving forward really positively, we've sent out one of our youth leaders and young people to the Church in Mityana, Uganda, and the young people have been great in contributing things to take to the youth there.
We've also finally got started in putting ROW'D together as a proper useable resource - it's a six week course, designed for year 6 which gives the basics of what Christianity is about, as well as some useful life skills. They've run it at St Sebs for about 4 years, and at the end, the group is invited to 'find out more about Christ.' Nothing heavy duty, committment wise, but it has been excellent in building the youth group up, and a real first step in faith for many of them! Other local schools have shown an interest, so we're hoping to be able to support other local Churches to run it in their own primary schools.
I know I should be really excited about this... and a lot of other things, but at the moment the world just seems to be a bit of an ugly, confusing, beautiful place.
