West Pelton Romanian Visit: 20th—27th September 2010 Following a tiring journey after landing at Luton Airport, the group of 13, including leaders met to discuss the programme for the week.. A full week of activities was agreed as follows:
Visits to schools involved speaking to whole school groups as well as individual classes. about a range of topics including customs, language, national costume, dancing, singing, geography as well as testimonies. Close relationships were formed with younger pupils and a visit to Red House Academy (left) resulted in talking to 60 students on a Friday afternoon—no mean feat but one which the group passed with flying colours! 
A visit to ‘The People’s Kitchen’ in
Newcastle fascinated the group as they saw work with underprivileged people in
action. Throughout the week, the young people stayed in houses of church members
and were fed each evening by individual churches. There is no question that they
returned to Romania considerably heavier than when they arrived!Activities in churches were varied from leading worship, contributing to ‘Back to Church’ Sunday and taking part in an evening for youth. An evening at West Pelton Methodist Church (see below) saw the young people play ‘Beetle Drive’ for the first time and lead a time of worship—an unforgettable experience for young and old alike!
What little spare time they had was
mostly spent at the Metro Centre or Washington Galleries. |
