A formal welcome to the business of Monday! Grant has published a list of useful stuff that New Youth Pastors should know, its a highly subjective approach but there is wisdom among the rubber chickens! Meanwhile the whole of Christendom seems to have gone Alpha loopy over Narnia, Dan Kimball reflects that the Da Vinci code may be a more honest point of engagement. Andy also expresses reservations.
"Free Stuff!" Words beaten only by "pay rise" in the mind of youth workers. Check out Simply Youth Ministry who are giving away Christmasssy type useful downloadable stuff!
Advent wise I'm still logging on religiously (if you see what I mean) each day to Dave's blog
Anyway I'm at the Spirituality Is conference in Salisbury, so see you there or catch you here when I report back in on Tuesday. Talking of contemporary spirituality, please come up with a caption for this ......
Ho Ho Ho! What do you mean peace on earth? Wouldn't you rather have a RoboSapien?
Well young man... are you sure? Gold, frankincense AND myrrh?
Santa: "Please baby Jesus, make my hair grow again."
Jesus: "Okay, if you promise to get off my legs!"
Not feeling inspired for captions today. I can, however, vouch for the illustrative capabilities of rubber chickens...
Why would anyone think that I would know how to change a nappy!
caption maybe is "He's the little boy that Santa Claus forgot"
