An annual occasion

Once a year an event happens that has a profound impact on my work... for several days: the Staff v Sixth form football match!
An good start to the day as I presented the full details for the Peru work party in 2012. Fifteen booking forms were taken so I'm hoping that from those we can put together a great team. Lots I'd fundraising ahead!




The afternoon match seemed rather under manned this year, which resulted in the local church's youth worker to have to play the while match, or at least be on the field. Didn't perform too badly when my legs actually moved and a 3-3 score line led to the penalty shoot out. Thanks to the five teachers on the pitch who stepped up to the spot, and the match was eventually awarded to the S6 team (not quite sure what reflection on the score that was, but hey, a BBQ was calling).




Perhaps not the best preparation for a weekend at Alltnacriche with 30 kids, but me and the whole family were ready to leave by 4.45pm and arrived just before the kids. This weekend helping out with Colin Carmichael at the Highland Primary weekend.



My responsibilities, other than general staffing, were the Saturday wide game (we eventually arrived at a set of rules that made it last longer than 1 minute per round) and the Saturday Bible teaching on Mark 10:17-30. Good discussion tonight; primary kids have lots of questions!



All going well so far and good that Joshua has been able to join and enjoy all the activities. Keziah meanwhile keeps Ruth and I busy at every opportunity!
