Just been planning a day of art that we have to do in a local primary school next week! We have an entire day to create a mural about Highfield and the local community with a bunch of Year 4's...a whole day sounds very long!


Last night was mad! Jonny, Claire and I joined the International church (based in St.Mary's at the new Lighthouse building) and helped out with their flyering around all the houses in Newtown! It was great...although pretty scary. Claire and I were sent out totally awone in the pitch black night, with nothing but a funky clipboard, some flyers and Holy Spirit! It was brilliant to get to know some of the guys at the church and we had some good chats with people as we went round. The church is awesome. It established by just 4 Asian families and now they have about 120 regulars...most of whom have converted to Christianity and most of whom are Asian or Polish! It's amazing to worship with people from so many different countries.
It was brilliant as well to plug into what's going on in the area. I really feel that living here and having my school placement right in the centre of this multicultural area is pivotal in what God is calling us to. Don't know quite how but just realising that all these puzzle pieces may well be piecing together....

Jonny's parents are down tonight, so we're seeing them for dinner which will be lush.

The primary school is also very interesting. There is a huge number of different languages spoken... a really multicultural school. It has a great feel to it.

Am I right in assuming that you are doing your practice at St Marys?

Enjoy!
