Hello there!

Again, sorry it’s been so long since my last blog, I am going to be better this year!!

First of all, thanks for those of you who have left comments – It’s really nice to hear from you! Some people have been asking about Gap year opportunities at The Briars, and if that’s you then email us using the address on this site, and we can send you some more info and answer your questions. From a personal point of view, working here on team (2002-2004) was one of the best thing I ever did, and also one of the hardest, but its definitely something that changed my life!

This last few weeks, have been crazy with training a new team, saying goodbye to some good friends, and starting the outreach once again! We went to St Mary’s Grimsby for our first reach4 Job, and as always it was incredible! I was so moved by the passion and enthusiasm you guys have! I can’t wait for out school mission on October.

Talking of school missions, we’ve got another coming up very soon, at St Thomas More in Buxton, and that is going to be fab, were just putting the final pieces of it together now and it’s going to be a really great experience.

We also had our first in house programme – St Mary’s from Grantham and you guys were something special! That reconciliation service was amazing! I wish you all the best for you confirmation and we’ll all be thinking and praying for you!

Finally yesterday we were at Ratcliffe College. It was great to work with the year 7′s and to meet some familiar faces that we met when we came last year. Hopefully we’ll be able to come back soon!

Apart from work, not a lot else is happening I’ve started doing a few gigs with a friend called Joe in our band called Cellobelly, and that’s been amazing, but as always its just finding the time to do everything you want to!

I’m on programme for All Saints Yr11 Next week which I’m really looking forward to, so until then……
