Courses going well

Just yards away from the present
tram stop at the Midland Station

On Saturday I went on the bus to Beeston for the pre-Weekend Away meeting at Chilwell Road. Around 30 people turned up and I spoke on the theme for the weekend. On the way I took photos of the new tram bridge which is easing into place slowly. Just a few yards to go now. I then went into town and we shopped together.

On the Sunday I went in the morning to Musters Road and in the afternoon to St. Peter's Church Derby for the Derby Chaplaincy AGM. I didn't stay for the service.

On Monday I had a meeting with Andrew Carter and then went to James Peacock only to find the meeting had been cancelled. Anyway it was a lovely day so I nipped to Wheatcroft's for a ponder. Tuesday was Welcoming Church at Trinity Kirkby-in-Ashfield. I went via Arnold to drop off the order of service and visuals for Sunday. In the day time I prepared the Arnold service visual using Robin Mark's 'Revival'. The Welcoming Churches went well with two more arriving. We didn't get through all the material as they really engaged well, especially with the MSI exercise.

I managed to track down the problem with James Peacock's web site. IE9 did not display the home page and the reason was some rogue characters in the ticker script - a comment start. Removing it made everything fine. On Wednesday morning I did some more refinements to JP's site including colourising the events and embellishing the administration. I changed Jen's log in to administrator. I am quite pleased now with their web site and will visit next Monday for the training session. On Wednesday afternoon my new leather iPad cover arrived. Not cheap but the smell of leather and the extra protection it offers should make up for that. I ordered more cartridges for the HP printer from Amazon only to find that Viking were slightly cheaper with free postage - oh well, next time!

A cool, sunny and blustery day

Alpha at Wollaton Road - I led the talk on 'Why did Jesus die?' The discussions which followed were immensely deep and people wanted to talk on after the closing time.
