We’ve finally updated the diary! Do keep an eye on the tweet updates and you’ll see what else we’re up to!! If you look at the diary and can’t get back to the main page (I had this problem!) try clicking on ‘The Morgan-Gurrs’ title at the top of the page….
Yes – we’ve changed the look of the blog!
This is to try to make it more accessible to those who need a larger print to read the updates. This theme should stop the titles and text overlapping in large print mode.
Since the last blog entry we have done three assemblies – on the theme of “Seeing the Light”, using the account of Saul’s conversion. Today Steve used his newest trick, to very good affect, to show the children how Saul turned around and changed when he “saw the light”.
Tomorrow afternoon is the Spring Harvest Children’s leaders debrief, followed by a Hungarton Camp planning meeting in the evening.
Do keep an eye on the twitter updates (On the left) We seem to be using them to do real time updates on what we’re doing – interesting (and mercifully short!)
We’re not sure if it’s going to be a useful tool or not – but Kay has joined twitter! We’ll give it a go for a while and see. We’ll probably just use it for posting useful or interesting articles, or making comment on various areas of Children’s Work. If you want to follow Kay on twitter, click the link on the right of the page.
Last weekend we were in Latvia for he first ‘formal’ annual meeting of the CW Latvia Team. Although ‘formal’ it was deliberately informal and relaxed, with the chance for the Team to get to know each other better away from the usual pressures of running an activity.
The team over there share a common council of reference/support group, and it was great to have one of the newer members of this group there with us. He had already been doing this job unofficially as he pastors the church where the CW Latvia office is!
On Saturday Morning Kay led discussion about Child Protection and Children with Special Needs – both were lively and helpful debates.
This time we weren’t at Norkalni – it was booked by others -, but at another (beautiful) centre called Vagneris. If you’re interested have a look at www.vagneris.lv
It was lovely to finally meet members we had heard about, and those who have so much to do with the running of the many fantastic camps out there.
