The Morgan-Gurrs

We’re back from Spring Harvest in Minehead with so many stories, there are too many to write here!

Have a look at Kay’s twitters from on site and you may get a small flavour of what went on, but here is an ‘overview in a nutshell’:

Weeks 1 and 2, Kay was the special needs consultant. Steve ably assisted her, but also did 2 gigs per week in the skyline, performing some of his story songs.  The guests we worked with were gracious and polite in all situations, and children who had additional needs were well catered for by excellent teams of special needs volunteers. There are many lovely stories of how children who don’t normally settle, settled into their programmes with no problems – thanks to the dedication of these volunteers.

The various teams Kay worked with and briefed on working with those who have additional needs, including the excellent stewarding teams, were so good, she had very few issues to deal with over the two weeks.

On Week 3, we were running Whizz Kids – the programme for 5 – 7 year olds. With a largely new team (60% had never served with us before) we were wondering how we would cope! But they were all fantastic! We had to hit the ground running, and they all coped admirably.  Throughout the whole week they never ceased to bless us. (Including finding a chocolate bar ‘inside’ Albert just as Kay was about to do a sketch with him – slightly disturbing, but it did cause a fit of the giggles!!)

The teaching (God’s Character reflected in us) was clear and obviously well understood by the children.

On one day we had prayer stations, organised by Rachel and Kim from  Orison. They were great – and the kids were enthralled by all the things they could do to pray. One of the photos below is of the ‘WOW’ tent.
