Thurso!

Well, hello to all my readers! (or to my dad! hehehe!)

This past week i have been in Thurso, doing the Light Factory kids club which was all based on Narnia. I hadn't quite realised how many paralells there were in the Narnia Story to the Bible. I just hope that the children understood what we were trying to get across, as some of the days had a lot of biblical teaching, which wasn't always clear.

In the evenings we've done some youth work. ON Monday night we had a BBQ down at the beach, it was a gorgeous evening (stayed tuned for some nice pics, but don't hold ur breath!) and we were able to play lots of games and enjoying some informal chatting around the bonfire. Many of the youth from the churches came, and we were also able to chat to some of the other 'unchurched' youth from Thurso. Tuesday and Wednesday nights were full of fun games, sometimes, mosttimes, the games were messy! Drip Drip Drop, as an alternate to duck duck goose, involving a cup of water! :D Thursday night took the form of a HELIX (Have everlasting Live in Christ) where we had a band made up of young people from around Thurso (the band were great!). We also played some fun games and Christine from Thurso Baptist spoke to us all about focussing on God, and incorporating the 'Five Languages of Love' into our relationship with God.

It has been a busy week, but it has gone well. However i can't help feeling that we could have done somethign more to reach out to the 'unchurched youth' in Thurso as none of them that we had spoken to on Monday evening came to any other meetings, but i wouldn't know what we could have done differently!

At the moment the team are having a nice relaxing chilling time, with cups of tea, empire biscuits and Happy Gilmour!

I hope ur well, keep in touch and let me know what you're up to!
