1st Bletchley Amicus

After last week’s unfortunate cancellation due to the snow, this week we decided to go for it and brave the elements. In fact, the elements decided to lay off for a while, so there wasn’t much bravery required. But we made it back which is the main thing, and enjoyed a great planning session.  Often the planning is seen as the dull, tedious but neccessary part of the programme, but last night’s session was great.  We managed to review the planning done so far for our next fund raising event, and for our Soapbox Derby challenge.

Then we had a brainstorm cranial weather anomaly and shared ideas for possible future sessions, then explained them to the group and removed a couple and refined a few more before were happy that we have a great session coming up. The result of our cranial weather anomaly can be seen below (click to enlarge) and will be translated and uploaded into the Amicus Calendar shortly. You will receive an email notifying you of which sessions you’re leading, assisting with or leading devotions for.

In devotions we reflected on the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:13 and it’s application during our current weather challenges. We also reflected on the fact that the coldest winter for years has been no match for the warmth of human excrement – hence the images in this update – and for which I apologise.
