After a long fortnight in Grantham, I’m now at home for a week’s holiday. This week has been very different to the one before. We we’re in St. Hugh’s school which is just round the corner from Ambergate. It’s a much bigger school than Ambergate (where we had whole year groups for a lesson). We took various lessons and a few assemblies over the week. I seemed to acquire a fan club of teenage girls over the week which got rather exhausting if I’m honest. I’m not used to female attention! But anyway, the young people seemed to really enjoy our lessons and assemblies and mostly joined in and got involved.
On the Friday at the end of the Grantham fortnight, we had lessons in the morning, then we packed down all our gear before lunch (which was a miracle in itself) and moved it into the Church of the Epiphany which was right in-between the two schools. We set it all up again there after lunch for the gig that evening. We had invited everyone from both schools to the gig. An hour before the gig was about to start, I was asked to do a bit of singing in a couple of the songs which I had never done before so I was quite nervous, especially because we didn’t really have a proper practice for it! Overall the gig seemed to go down well and lots of young people asked for our “Check It Out” flyers at the end which give the first steps to “becoming a Christian” (as much as I hate that phrase).
It’s good to be home now, to get some sleep, see some of my friends from Church, and generally not have to do much 
. But I’m also looking forward to getting back on the road with the team for an activities week in Hawkwell. I’m not really sure what happens at an activities week but apparently it will be good fun!
