The FirstServer’s time at Tilsley has now come to an end! Aline has moved onto Regent Chapel Newcastle, and Katie is at Glebe Chapel, Newent in Gloucester. Please pray for them as they settle in to their UK placements. Rachel, Yasmin and Fiona have a short break before starting their placements.
Follow Katie and Rachel via their blogs:

Harvest Opportunities!
Great day on Sunday at the Harvest All-Age Service @ Duncan Road Church Southampton, followed by a very enjoyable Church meal!
Harvest time provides many opportunities in Churches and schools to share the message of Jesus with many who do not normally attend a place of worship.
“God is good and all he does is good!” – The Bible: Psalm 119 verse 68
All Good Gifts (Harvest Talk)

Schools
Great opportunity to do a question and answer session with three year 4 classes at Townhill Junior School, Southampton. The pre-prepared questions ranged from ‘What is a Church?’ ‘Why do Christians pray?’ ‘What is God like?’ ‘Why do Christians eat bread & wine?’ ‘Why and when did you become a Christian?’ and many more questions about Church, the community and what Christians believe!
It was also good to introduce teachers to the RE:Quest website – a great resource, started by ‘Counties‘ but now run by ‘Youth For Christ’.
