A couple of highlights from the last few days. One was the first combined Young Adults and Youth Group meeting, which was also the first “Youth Retreat”. There were nine from the Young Adults group and three of the teenagers, plus a few leaders, and we met from 1 to 7pm for lunch (can’t have a meeting in Italy without food!), a discussion about a Linkin Park video clip, a Bible study, a few games and lots of fun. Personally, it was good to see the teenagers about to mix with other Christians just a bit older than them - and they said they appreciated the opportunity as well. And I enjoyed myself as well; it brought back many happy memories of such meetings when I was a young.

The other was a meeting on “Education and the Christian Faith”, which one of the church members (who is a paedologist by profession) gave as part of the series of monthly meetings of training and theological study that the church does. What she said was good and useful (especially for an apprentice in child rearing like me!), but it was also good to see someone reflecting on the impact of their faith on their profession, and to see someone using their profession in the church.
