Since I lasted posted on here (way back on July 2nd) I had my dear friend Stephy visit me in Norn Iron, I caught a flight to Bristol, travelled down to Poole (via Bath) for a job interview, travelled to Northampton for a job interview, travelled to Lincoln where I met up with old friends, went to a wedding, a baptism and a graduation. From there I went back home for a week before flying to East Midlands to be part of the Powerpack Team at Faith Camp (Peterborough).
I made it to the Saturday of Summer in the City (in between weeks 1 and 2 of the Children’s Ministry Experience in Headington, Oxford) then visited Stephy at her home in London before travelling back up to Lincoln for Grapevine.
That was my summer. What followed was 10 days at home before I moved to Oxford for an academic year. I am doing an internship with a church here. My job title is “Ministry Support Worker” and it involves me helping out with various regular activities & less regular events.
During the week I help out at Mums & Tots, Over 50’s Club, After School Club and Youth Group. On a Sunday I help with Sunday School, Sunday Youth, Crèche & Data Projection. I have also just agreed to help out with a second Youth Project and a second Mother & Toddler group.
As you can see, my main focus is Children’s & Youth Ministry. I am currently completing a one year course in Youth Ministry with CYM. This involves travelling to Reading every month or so.
I also plan to study with The Open University come January.
I babysit twice a week to earn money.
Last month I was a Powerpack leader at a Church Weekend in Salford, Manchester. This weekend I am attending a conference in Bristol. The weekend after that I will be at Headington Baptist Church’s weekend away. In December I am visiting Lincoln for a weekend at the start & visiting home for 10 days at the end.
My diary is filling up for 2012.
So, yeah, life is busy!
