Greetings All. Here's the stuff that is crossing the radar screen at the moment, I hope some of these blips will be heading in the same direction and prove useful:
Huntercombe Young Offenders institute has a huge demand for places at groups run by the chaplaincy at the moment, so much so they are having to turn lots away. If you have christian youth work experience, live close enough and can spare some Tuesday evenings then be in touch with me and I'll introduce you.
The legendary Miz sent me this really good article on rites of passage in the Church, it's by Brad Griffin and is WELL worth a read and will probably lead to another post or four.
Saturday Sept 16th at 7pm SKA Mass at St Mary's Twyford, a communion service with a difference. It will be led by a 10 piece Christian Ska band called 'Sounds of Salvation'. They are based in Reading and played Greenbelt last year and have been invited back to do more this year, they're great!!!
SOUL NET Conference at Centre Parcs will be March 2nd - 4th 2007, no more details available yet.
I blogged before about Savage Chickens and they are still making me laugh :-)
Sounds Of Salvation are indeed excellent. We went to their most recent Ska Mass on Sunday. They also have a website (www.soundsofsalvation.co.uk) with a gig list under "Events". Even I got up and skanked (badly).
