Monday 22-Friday 26th January '07

Hello.

Hope you have had a good week so far. Just a quick update and to give you a few things to be praying about for next week.

It's been a bit of a slow week but I had a great time at Chalkstone Middle on Monday and have started to mentor a student there which is a great opportunity, please be praying for this work as it is so important.

I have also been to a meeting about Haverhill Methodist Church's holiday club 'Going Banana's' which is taking place in half term which I'm getting involved in.

With it being a little quiet at the moment it has given me a great opportunity to reflect on what I gained from the conference and to look forward to this term. Already I have been in conversation with Samuel Ward about setting up an after school Christian Union this term, hopefully we can set up something more definite next week...so keep that in your prayers.

I have also been looking into how I can set up a Rock Solid club at Parkway Middle, this will be a fun club run at lunch times, which again will hopefully start after half term, however I am praying that someone may be able to volunteer their help to assist me with this one lunch time a week...any ideas please please let me know.

I'm really excited about these opportunities, it will deepen the work so that relationships can be built outside of the classroom environment so that the youth can really explore what it is to be a Christian! With all this I still have a lesson to plan and an assembly for Castle Manor and I am hoping to organise a fund raising quiz night...so watch this space.

Next week will be more of the planning of these developments as well as more of the mentoring, I won't be around on the Friday 26th and Monday 29th as I'm taking time out after last week.

Please keep praying for the young people and the schools, prayer is more powerful than we can understand! Have a great weekend.
