Talk response 25: the bubble project

Check out the street bubbles on thebubbleproject.com. Perhaps this idea could be used as a way of reflecting on the news or magazine articles.

This is also a good source for a bubble template for my gossip talk

Purpose - a reflective powerpoint

This was week Hiede and Jonathan have been running Pyramid Rock summer club and on Sunday we had a service to finish it off.  My contribution was to put together a "quiet reflective bit" for those who took part (basically the adults).  I've uploaded the power point here.  I gave everyone this sheet and pen before they came in.   I played some "reflective" music from Moby "play" - Inside and My Weakness.

Where are you at? A reflective discussion

I've just uploaded the "reflective" talk we did back in July. You can find it here. The idea is to provide an opportunity to talk about where they are "at" and highlight the big issues in their lives. We are thinking of rewriting this an using it as an intro to a residential weekend - you know the kind of this, we come here with various bits of baggage...etc.

Talk response 21: flash paper

Flash paper...a good response to a talk on forgiveness. You can buy flash paper from various magic shops. I've bought it from the Magic box in Newcastle. It cost about £6 a pack. The idea is that you cut the sheets into small pieces and invite your group to write their confessions / prayers onto them. You need a chunky marker pen. When you set fire to them (use a candle), they literally vaporise...they burn up really quickly. This then ties in with God wiping your slate clean etc...there is nothing left...it's gone...
