What we do...

At 8.30am the team will be on the move, to the first assembly of the day. Assemblies are about 20 minutes; a game, a story, a Christian song, a bit of life application, a prayer – somewhere all of these things will have been thought about in our planning meetings and put together in order to give a fun and inspiring message about God, us and life.

Well that’s the first assembly over by 9.30am so it’s pack up the props and equipment and head off to wherever the second school may be to do it all over again!  Back to the office by 11am for a cup of tea and any preparations that need to be made.

Most days we split in two, so we can run Lunch Clubs.  Similar to assemblies in content but less on presentation and more on interaction – it’s only half an hour but it’s amazing what you can pack in.

Afternoons are often quite haphazard; we can have more assemblies, or lessons, or planning meetings, or simply office preparation for other projects such as this website, school clubs, children's weekends away or national children's and family events.
