Back in Bonnie Scotland...

Well I have been back in bonnie Scotland for 3 weeks and time has flown by. I am spending my 6 weeks at Cartsbridge Evangelical Church in Busby.


Stepping Stones

I have a somewhat busy timetable, on Monday I help out at a preschool group called Stepping Stones. Although I feel that I possibly wreak havoc more than I help, with children trapping me in the playhouse while pretending that dinosaurs are taking over Scotland, I have enjoyed helping.



Nursery Time

One of my favourite parts of my placement here is story time at a local nursery. Reading out a bible story to a small class has been an amazing experience for somebody who now wants to be a primary school teacher.





Scripture Union Groups

Further experiences which have made me look at the prospect of a career in education have been the different scripture union groups that I have been involved in. It is amazing to see that God can work with such small groups of people both in primary and high school. The primary group is from P5 to P7 which is year 4-5 if you do not live in Scotland. The children in this group are amazing and really seem to be interested in God's word. In the older group which is S1 to S3 (years 7- 9) the boys are really interested in God and have some amazing questions which we try and answer. It surprisingly helpful to me to hear their questions and think of my personal point of view in my faith. 


Wednesdays

On wednesday I am involved in a  kid's club called King's Club. I have so far told the story of pentecost following up with a quiz. After this I go to home group or a prayer meeting.





While in Busby I have been involved with the Alpha course and Girl's Bible Study, here I made some good friends who have been very welcoming. I am now looking forward to preparing for the children's part of a family service for 170 people. I wanted to thank everybody for their support and prayers.
