And So To The South Again!
Since our last update we have been up and down the motorway to the south like a yo-yo!
It started with an all age service at our favourite local C of E church – St. Luke’s. This was a last minute booking, but we had a small gap and were more than happy to oblige. After a gobbled lunch we headed down south for a Dalesdown camps planning meeting on the Monday, squeezing in another meeting whilst we were down there. The following Friday we were back again, this time at Pilgrim Hall for a church weekend with Holy Trinity from Tulse Hill. This was both challenging and enjoyable, and we thoroughly enjoyed working with a team of our Children Worldwide friends.
Then on the following Thursday we were back again – this time for meetings, and the fund raising weekend at Dalesdown. On Friday night we had the wonderful Jonathan Veira doing his one man show, and a great time was had by all whilst raising money for our new sports hall. On Saturday, Dalesdown was opened up for a free family fun day. Well over a thousand people came through the doors over the course of the day. There were tons of activities to do and lots of fattening foods to eat, again – all in the name of raising money for the new sports hall.
On Saturday we’ll be back again – doing an all age service at Sheddingdean Baptist Church on the Sunday Morning, helping them to celebrate their 11th anniversary, and then staying on for more meetings on Monday. But before that, we have a Children Worldwide management meeting in Birmingham on Thursday.
