From One Meeting To the Next!
All the Spring Harvest meetings are over – Monday evening saw us looking at the theology of the teaching theme (Set in Isaiah) in quite a lot of detail. This was very helpful, and this morning we thrashed out how to teach the children about different aspects of hope from the “exilic” chapters in Isaiah! It is a difficult theme – we will be teaching concepts with very little narrative, but I do believe the theme is really good and teachable (with a lot of wrestling and prayers for inspiration and wisdom!!!) As soon a this was over, we had lunch and then went straight into the National Children’s Ministers Retreat. This ends tomorrow after lunch, but having opted to commute each day, we now have to be back in Nuneaton for 7 am tomorrow!!
We spent the afternoon and evening sharing, praying, eating junk food, drinking coffee and playing games on a wii……our first ever attempt at this! There will be some stuff to report back by the end of the retreat – we will put it on the blog when we have it in a form we can use, with the confidential bits taken out!!!!
