Sorry for my long silence! I've had an afternoon off today so here’s a quick update of what I’ve been up to recently:
We’ve just finished 2 teaching weeks at Wellington School, where we’ve been giving 3 different lessons on suffering, friendship and fact/faith/belief to the years 7, 8 & 9. This has been our third school we’ve taught at so far & I’ve found I really enjoy leading a different style of lesson for the students about great, engaging topics. In fact, last week we had a young boy ask about whether God could compete with what science was saying about the ‘big bang’ theory. We were able to let him (and the rest of the class) know what our thoughts were, and he seemed really receptive. This just reminded me how exciting it is that schools are giving us this platform to teach from and the things we teach can have such an impact!
In terms of my work with People’s Church, we’re planning a free, Christmas fun day for local families to enjoy and it's going to be a right treat! Real reindeer, craft markets, a Frozen world - I’m really hoping as many of the community as possible will come to have a great afternoon out with us.
Hopefully that’s given you a small flavour about what’s happening with me at the moment. Enjoy your weekend!
