Hello!

I hope you're not too wet! What a week!

We've been busy and madly preparing for the celebration service on Sunday. Also had the usual groups, we have been struggling with one of our Rock Solid groups on a Friday, please please pray for guidance for Diana and myself as we deal with the difficulties and pray also that the pupils do get something positive out of that group. We want everyone to feel welcome and safe in RS and at the moment it is proving hard work so we would really value your prayers.

So this coming week, my last full week before I take some holiday.

Wednesday-I will be spending the day at Parkway Middle doing a problem solving day-please pray that the rain holds off and that we have a great day full of fun.

Monday 4th-Friday 8th June 07

Hello,

I hope you have had a good bank holiday! Well it it now the end of half term and the last stretch of schools term is in front of me!

I had a great bank holiday, Simon and myself went up to Cliff College where I studied for two years to go to their Festival, we survived camping in the freezing weather and battering rain, but we had a great time going to seminars and worship events, and I have come back with some new ideas and feeling more inspired!

Over this half term as well as planning and preparing assemblies and clubs I have found time to do some reading, at present I'm reading 'Mission-shaped Youth, rethinking young people and church' by Tim Sudworth, it's a helpful book for someone in my job as I look at the place of young people in one culture and how to present church to them and get them involved!

So, on to this coming week...

Wednesday: Westfield Primary assembly-The story of Noah
Castle Manor-Christian Lunch
Thursday: Rock Solid yrs 5 & 8, Parkway Middle
Friday: Rock Solid yrs 6 & 7, Parkway Middle
Clare Middle assembly-Commitment
Mudflaps

Monday 21st-Friday 25th May 07

Hello.

I am happily writing this with some sunshine...at long last! It has been a slightly quieter week with no Rock Solid but I have been into Clare giving the year 8's lessons so that's been good.

Please make a note of the change of date for the HSI Celebration service, it will now be on Sunday 24th June 2007, at 6 pm at West End Congregational Church! This will be a family friendly service so please put this date in your diaries and join us as we celebrate the years work, and the last 12 years of HSI!

Coming up this week;

Tuesday: Clare Middle, year 8 RE, Creation
Wednesday: Castle Manor Christian lunch
Thursday: Clare Middle, year 8 RE, Creation
Parkway Middle Rock Solid for years 5 & 8
Friday: Parkway Middle Rock Solid for years 6 & 7
Mudflaps.

Thank you for your continued support in prayer, please also remember those who are taking and preparing for exams at the moment and those who will be moving schools very son or leaving school.

This is the last week before half term holidays so I will be back with you in 2 weeks time, take care until then.

Monday 14th-Friday 19th May 07

Hello.

Hopefully this time I can get this blog up on time!! After a crazily busy week I'm looking forward to having a lazy Saturday ready for a busy Sunday in Clare. On the last blog I didn't include preaching at Clare URC on Sunday morning so please pray for that.

We successfully split Rock Solid over two lunches this week, having nearly 30 on Thursday and about 40 today so the split didn't put too many off and we had plenty of new comers! Praise God.

This coming week is looking like this so far...

Tuesday: Year 8 RE on creation at Clare Middle.
Wednesday: Castle Manor Christian lunch.
Thursday: Year 8 RE on creation at Clare Middle.
Friday: Mudflaps.

There is no Rock Solid due to SATS, please remember the young people as they take these exams throughout next week.

I want to thank you for those of you who keep checking this regularly and remembering the work of HSI in your prayers, we value it so much. Remember to pass this web site on to anyone who may be interested!

Have a lovely weekend.
