Paul Windo @ Urban Saints / #11 / LATE!!!

It couldn't last for ever... Apologies, but those more observant among you will have noticed the severe, almost Virgin-Trains-like delay of my latest offering. Normal service will resume but this does mean you're going to get two in just a few days...!

What’s my role…
Last week was a BUSY week. I had Chris Brassett with me for his work experience. I try to make my work experience placements as fun as possible but was also aware that I had loads to get done so wanted to make sure any projects I involved him in, would actually have use to the organisation. As a result, among other things, we did a green-screen trial run for ‘The Big Picture’, filmed some intros for this coming weekend’s Spree event (including being strapped to the top of an abseil tower!) and made the following video to promote our new ‘pink’ hoodies…



I’ll let you be the judge of how useful Chris’ week might have been!

Elsewhere in Urban Saints
I’ve eluded to this project before but here’s the full details about ‘Storyline’. This DVD-supported resource has just gone to the duplicators and Gibbo has put an amazing amount of work into it. It is a 12-part journey through the whole story of the Bible, aimed at teens. It uses animation, music, drama, vox-pops, interviews, testimonies, video montages and more conventional paper-based meeting plans to unpack various aspects of the bigger picture of the Bible (‘The Big Picture’ is the kids version of this.). It’ll be available shortly, both as part of Energize and as a stand-alone resource for youth groups, so watch this space!

How can you help?
Support is about so much more than money – your time, as a volunteer, and your prayers are even more valuable – but without sufficient funding, many of these opportunities will have to be cancelled. Even a few quid a month can make a massive difference. Thanks for your support – please get in touch if you’d like to do more!
