Who Do You Say God Is?

And it’s over for another year! We wave goodbye to CSSM 2017. No tears this time, we’re getting too old for that – by the time you’re a Cruiser and a Liner, you don’t hold your mum’s hand on the way in and you don’t cry on the way out but that does not mean we didn’t have a fabulous time as always.

It may be a kid’s mission but I never come away from this fortnight empty handed.

The Discomfort of Holiday Bible Club

‘Were you out of your comfort zone?’ says youth leader.

‘Yes,’ I reply with definite tone and raised eyebrow.

‘Good,’ says he whilst wiping the nausea inducing, stomach churning contents of a plastic basin into the bin.

Final night and clean-up complete, I stepped out of the week’s discomfort zone of the pre-teen, YouTube world and into the welcome, if slightly chilly embrace of the summer holidays. I drove away from another year of Holiday Bible Club, simultaneously making a mental list of books to pack in my suitcase and chewing over the events of the past week.
