Glory Hole Eugene, Oregon

know what happened ...?!

well, what? Well, we started in February! Yes, yes, some time ago, the county. Admit you're right, but the time for us so quickly swam here in England, after returning from the Polish, that when it comes to our blog, we managed it is, at best, neglected a bit ..
underwent It will improve, as we all return to the student "routine" ... Routine only if the idea is more or less looks like our day, one week.

Meanwhile, fresh dose of inspiration:) I was

recently at a meeting in the church, The Well, which has already been here several times we wrote. I bring you fresh ideas. For several years, there are organized meetings for mothers with young children (aged 0 to 3 years).
Ok. 9:30 am start to go down there with their children (and the little toddlers are really amusing.) Every week we collect from 1945 to 1960 children with moms. Children have a large room, with several "stations" "The Station" - read: color, plush mat with various toys. Thus, it is mat with dolls, with blocks of autkami, with puzzles, with soft toys for tots, toy-games, etc.. (All toys are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before each meeting.) This I was one of my tasks in this Tuesday.


contrast, there are comfortable chairs, tea, toast and a cookie. And what do they need more? Only companions of conversation, and these are in abundance. Members of the church two and three, that all we have to feel like home and the children were safe. Any disagreements between the children "are strangled at birth") is why, despite more than 100 people in the room, where there is a very cordial atmosphere.
Since this was my first meeting, my job consisted mainly of observations and "wczuciu" in the atmosphere. This project aims to strengthen links with the inhabitants of the city, with their mothers, it is a small "plot mission."
meeting ends around 11.30. Last quarter is encouraging kids to sing songs (overheard one of Jonah was something .. I have to examine in the next classes:)) and to prayer.
very interesting thing to me is that each department is treated very seriously here. For example, children's toys are stored in specially marked, colored boxes are cleaned immediately after school, dressed in their place - and not just thrown in "sloppy." Everything is well-organized.
Each volunteer, in this Tuesday morning, talking with moms and builds a good rapport with them so that once again - "in a practical way to show the love of Jesus." It was apparent that we really want to go, and I believe (and probably find out that, over the lifetime of the project), that the atmosphere of this place that makes people wonder: "What are those people that I do not have?"
