On trial

My first trial service was a traditional evening methodist sing, teach & preach. The service went very well and the assessors gave me some very positive feedback and re-assurance that I needed to continue leading worship in the same way. God was so good to me - I even had a special word for the people at Trinity which relates to a new development that is taking place right next door to the church. I don't know when my next one is - it maybe this weekend when I do a Chapel Anniversary at Lofthouse.

Do you need any help?

I have offered help to a number of people but no-one has been able to use any of the time I have. I can get on with plenty of reading but it does demonstrate that even when "resources" are available the church in particular seems to struggle to use them.
I'll keep asking and I am doing the church cleaning this week!

Learning more about Jesus Christ

Have started doing the reading to complete an assignment on christology for the Themes in Theology module. This module is interesting because it talks about all the traditional development of church and theology. Not something I have majored on so far. I will be looking at the contrast between the early view of Christ and the our contemporary views and understanding. Lots of very difficult to understand concepts so it is challenging.

Job Search Update

There have been a few vacancies but not many suitable. I have applied for a Circuit Administrator job in Sheffield and will send one off tomorrow for a Learning Networks Co-ordinator with the Church Army. The only issue with both is that they really want people long term i.e. 5 years. This is probably going to restrict my chances if there are suitable long term candidates. Still if these are God's possibilities.....
