Back home….for a few hours anyway!
We are now at home after what was a brilliant training retreat. On Saturday night we had a time of quiet worship followed by prayer stations – the photo shows (In a round about way) a little of those. I couldn’t take many photos because we didn’t want to disturb people using the stations.
The paper tells you to take and eat a Jelly baby, and pray for children who suffer hurt and abuse. The bits of paper have words on them that describe what hurts these children. (Disappointment, Fatherless, Abuse etc)
Sunday morning saw one of our colleagues – Monica Cook, talking about her experiences in various countries. She inspires and amazes every one with what she does, but is so humble about it. Much of what she has done in the past is quite sensitive, so we can’t go into detail!
We had the pleasure of leading communion for the delegates – and share a little of what is on our hearts for children. We’ll probably share that in a separate blog entry later.
In an hour we will be off to a Spring Harvest meeting to look at the teaching for next year – exciting!
