Summer in School

A tower-building game using spaghetti and marshmallows


Highlights of last term included teaching about Jesus' death and resurrection at our lunch clubs, a student inviting us to come and see him in a school play, and being asked to support another student facing some serious difficulties.


From now until the May half term we are planning to look at a number of 'Pressure Points' in our lunch clubs . Issues will include temptation, gossip, failure, success. At Brighton College we will complete the last few session of the Alpha course. In our girls group, Pink, we will continue our weekly focus on subjects pertinent to girls (and also having fun!).


We have been delighted at the growth of the schools project this academic year and are so grateful for the good relationships we enjoy with local secondary schools. Please continue to pray with us that we may make a valuable contribution to the school communities of local secondary schools.
