Never Dull

Blogged by James Preece 14th April 2008 (3 months ago)

Whew. I am tired out but very happy indeed. This week has been fantastic.

The people from SPES (St. Patrick's Evangelisation School) have been here in Hull. Evangelisation is something Ella and I have been wondering about for a long time so we were very excited when we heard the people from SPES were coming. They are a group of 20-30 year old Catholics who have taken a year out to live in community in Soho, London and learn about Evangelisation and how to talk to people about God.

I'm not going to attempt a blow by blow account of the week because too much happened and we haven't got all day, the long and the short of it is that we spent time in prayer (especially adoration and the office) and some time working with youth, parents and complete strangers. We did some street evangelisation...

We even made it on to BBC Radio Humberside...

Spes on the Radio

I have learned loads and as is always the case when you learn loads it takes a while to digest it all. I will try and do some kind of write up later on in the week.

In the meantime, many thanks to the SPES people for coming. You are very much welcome to come again any time! God bless you all and all you do!
