Quote from Sobino

Essay prep is coming along... although I am not sure I full get what I'm meant to be answering. I found this very cool quote... not sure if I agree with it yet but it sounds good....

'To know the truth is to do the truth, to know Jesus is to follow Jesus, to know sin is to tak away sin, to know suffering is to free the world form suffering, to know God is to go to God in justice' Quote from Sobino in Models of Contextual Theology by S B Bevan

A tidy office....?!

For the first time since starting doing youth worker I am now overseeing and driving what happens. Up till this year I have always been working under a senior youth worker. Now... it's my turn. I know have a lot of respect for my youth leaders... never did I realise how much work is involved. The things they need to think about. :-)

I am currently juggling youth alpha course with the other week by week groups. I wonder how did I get into this. ... oh yeah God called me to do it.

My desk is a bit of a state at the moment... but I do know where everything is. But in the midst of caos the Holy Spirit is on the move. I am seeing the young people hungering after God and understanding scripture... they are asking some great questions at alpha... there honesty is great. I have to remind myself of the great stuff when the paperwork gets me down... and I wonder what will happen next!

Youth Alpha

Last night was the second session of youth alpha at St C's. We had 6 and one of them didn't come last week. Which is cool.

Each we the younng people have the opportunmity to put a queston in the bowl and each week we answer a 1 or 2 of them. Last night we pulled out

How do you know if you've led a good life?

If God created us, then who created God?

Interesting....

Greek 'n' Life

Well the lack of blogging has been in relationship to starting college and starting up new youth group. (and the internet deciding it was going to stop working for a 10 days). :-)

I've started studying at St Paul's Theological Centre - doing a diploma in Contextual theolgy. I'm just taking a break from trying to learn the greek alphabet. Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon... and all that jazz.

There are some lovely people on my course. The new youth group BREAKOUT is growing in momentum - my side kick, J, is being a great support. Youth alpha started on monday alongside Alpha. n:forum is back in rehearsals with the new STOP team...

Life is busy as ever. Catch ya soon....
