last week

sat was a big success in more than one way! The Big event went so much better than anyone might have guessed after the previous week. Excellent atmosphere, calm, everything was under control, young people really enjoying themselves, youth workers and volunteers getting on with each other. Success!!

It was then founders day (me singing with choir) after a disappointing morning with some students upset over things which meant they needed to put something off! Was I helping them by allowing that to happen or not? As long as they learn from it I think it is OK, and as long as they know it couldn't and wouldn't happen in 'real life' I think that is OK.

Wed I interviewed 6 potential students, and it was a good experience I hope for them all, in starting to get them to think outside their boxes.

Thursday was confirmation and passiontide service in chapel - long service but good and great to see 5 students affirming their faith. and then on to family group where we were tackling how we were going to split our group as it has become too big to function well.

friday - fantastic to see someone wanting to come back onto the course after three years away..things have got sorted out and is ready to come back, always good to see folk who manage to sort their issues out and who want to try again.
