This weekend I am getting involved in a Big Deal event. I haven’t managed to attend any of the events so far that have been laid on in Stockport but this weekends involves doing some drama so the organisers have asked me to join them. I am pretty excited about this, I have written a script that re-tells the story of Jonah in a slightly different way, hopefully, one that will engage the kids, a lot of whom will never have heard of Jonah before.
All I knew about the Big Deal activities is that churches, in a particular location, get together to do community actions. So far, in Stockport, there have been a few weekends organised. I think they largely involve coffee and tea though some have had (I suspect Christian) rock bands performing. Well that’s what I thought before I read the web site. It seems there is much more to them than that and I know that the weekend coming up has lots of activities going on for all ages throughout the weekend.
Anne is involved with some worship on Sunday morning so BCLC is all down to me and Penny. The theme this month is ‘Morality - who says it’s right’ or something like that. Quite challenging as always and it follows on well from last months Interfaith relations topic.
I will, of course, be back here to tell you how it all went.
