Madeley Academy RE day Report from our Telford Based schools project: Engage Schools It's quite easy to imagine that schools work is too hard or somehow very different since the pandemic. Indeed, things have become more challenging, but thankfully, some things have remained the same.One notable thing that hasn't changed is the need for schools to teach their young people about belief in a world even more divided than when we went into the Covid period.On Tuesday 5th April, my team and I made a very welcome return to Madeley Academy, where we served the school in an RE day. This event was booked by a senior member of staff back last summer. He hoped that we could provide multiple experiences for young people in year 8, and we did indeed do just that.I worked with the South Telford Churches this last year to put together a programme for the school, which included an RE lesson based on Easter, a reflective 'prayer space' and a Christian fitness ministry (fit4life) that could speak to the mental health of young people from a faith point of view.By all accounts, the day was a great success, and I was thrilled to facilitate local Christians working with young people in the school. Rev Iain McIntyre did a fantastic job writing the lesson with Beckie Dotson. I'm also immensely grateful to the visitors who came with us. Anne De Vere joined us from St Michael's Church, Madeley and worked with me in creating the reflective prayer room. Emily Spicer also joined us from a partner work called 'Reign Ministries'. Dan Desmond, who used to work with me in Exmouth many years ago, came to lead the Fit4Life sessions, and my eldest daughter even joined us as part of her work experience. In total, also three sessions were repeated four times, and we also met the whole of year 8 throughout the day.By far the biggest thing I found from my perspective in the Reflect room was that young people are struggling deeply with the idea that they could be acceptable before God. This is something for us to address and pray into. Somewhere along the way, the message that God hates us when we're struggling with identity issues has drowned out the message of God's love. Do continue to pray for the work of Engage Schools. We exist to work with local churches and secondary schools. The next project in Telford is GSUS LIVE, which will visit four schools in the summer term.John ProckterWatch the recent video update: youtu.be/u7x4M3j-7PY ... See MoreSee Less
