Letter to Supporters
LETTER TO OUR SUPPORTERS 2009/2
Change is definitely afoot at the Lichfield Christian Schools Work Trust! How we have valued your prayers. After 16years as Schools Worker with the Trust, Brian Dash, is relinquishing this post, during the summer half-term, to extend his Pastoral role at his home Church in Walsall, and we wish him God’s blessing on his ministry there. Brian has served our Lord faithfully in his work with the Trust and we shall miss him very much. We are hoping to hold a special thanksgiving/leaving service and bar-be-cue in July to which you will all be invited. As soon as this is finalised we shall send you an invite.
Anthony Narain has applied and been accepted for the post of Schools Worker with the Trust, and started in March. He is currently about to commence his 3rd year of studies for a BA Honours Degree in Youth & Community Work with Applied Theology at St. John’s College, Nottingham and is also part time Youth Worker at Wade Street Church.
Anthony has also worked with Youth for Christ.
Since our last newsletter, Pam Rowley has continued lessons with Yr 10 at King Edwards on the subject of relationships, and after Easter she will be taking lessons on stress. She has also completed similar lessons at Maple Hayes School, as well as two lessons on the subject of abortion. Preparations for Log on to God (secondary open door) in the Cathedral in May continues. Pam has also completed lessons on abortion for the G.C.S.E. R.E. curriculum in Nether Stowe School.
The Puppet Team performed the Shepherds play before Christmas in the Primary Schools as well as the Epiphany play after Christmas. Currently the team are rehearsing our new play ‘Raising one storm and calming another’, which tells the story of Jesus calming the storm and of the healing of Mob. This is the fourth of our ‘miracle stories series’. Once again our gifted scriptwriter Sally has challenged us in the performance of this play, and it will also challenge the children as they watch and listen.
We continue to thank God for the way that the doors of the schools remain
open to us, and the way in which we continue to be so well received
even though several Head Teachers have changed recently.
Thank you for your prayers for a new Treasurer. Christian Jones has
volunteered to take over from Jose Wright, and is currently learning
the ropes from
Jose.Wethank you Chris and pray that our Lord will bless you and guide
you in this position. Chris Jones, our new Treasurer.
We shall be sorry to lose Jose, but somehow I think she will always keep in touch with us. She is a wise, prayerful lady, and although her health is not as good, she continues to keep in close contact with the work of the Trust and we value her input.
Sue Johnson, a member of our Committee, has become a Trustee, and we are really grateful that she has taken on this position.
From 16th-19th March, in conjunction with Wade Street Church, we put on the Easter Presentation for Yr 5/6 Primary School Children. Basically through acting, stories and DVD we explained the real meaning of Easter from Palm Sunday to the Empty Tomb and beyond, and followed clues stuck on Easter Eggs as to whether Jesus could possibly be alive today. Approx 260 children attended and the feedback was very positive. In fact they have asked for a follow-up Christmas presentation! Our thanks go to Anne Badcock who did a lot of research and organising to make this possible.
None of the above could be achieved without your prayers and our Lord’s blessing. We thank all our dear supporters for your support prayerfully and financially. Please will you especially remember Anthony as he takes on lessons and assemblies in the schools, that our Lord will really use him and bless him in a very special way.Please pray for Brian as he takes on the responsibility of pastor in his Church.Recently several Churches have raised their financial giving to the Trust and we are so grateful, as well as several donations from our Supporters.In return, we pray that our Lord will bless each one of you through His love and generosity.
