Emerging Culture Fun and Games

Most of the team turned up to work battered and bruised this week... after sunday afternoon's touch rugby game. Dot showed she is no push over against the boys, but did end up falling head over heals as she attempted to kick the ball, covering her back in mud! Definately, a sight not to have missed.

Natalie showed off her southern hempisphere skills (Nat is from New Zealand), while Josh just seemed content to get as muddy as possible. However when it came to driving home he realised that this had not been such a good idea, and in turn made everyone take off any muddy clothing before entering his car. Josh ended up wearing nothing but shorts on a very cold day!

The Emerging Culture team has been working hard on... organising street teams for the Pentecost festival, and arranging the Salsa Night, which we will be hosting at the festival in May. Even I (who has no dancing ability what-so-ever) am very tempted to go along and join in withwhat looks to be a proper good night.

Darren (Big D) has had his nose in his books this week as he tries to study for his degree, while also working hard on the man-made project. Man-made is a soon to be released youth resource encouraging young guys to take up the responsibilities that manhood brings!

Carina (Ms Throgmorton) and Dot (or Dorothy, which she hates) who are both self confessed shop-aholics returned from their weekend outing with no less than 8 bags each and have been giving us a catwalk show of their new purchses ever since. Most noteable to the new collection is Ms Throgmorton's new bright pink coat which she bought to match her umbrella?!haha. I for one always thought you would buy an umbrella to match your coat, and not the other way around, but hey what do I know?! However none of their items compared to Josh's new trainers which are black, pink, yellow and white. Despite the ridicule he still loves them!


A major project that seems to have taken up the time of most team members is the Hope for Planet Earth Tour, which is about to kick off around the country. The tour focuses on looking at climate change from a Christian perspective aiming to equip us all to take action. Are you coming? It's going to be a great tour, so make sure you catch them when they're near you. Go to http://www.hopeforplanetearth.co.uk/

With lots more work (and fun) to come we thank God for allowing us to be involved in so many projects and blessing the office so heavily in all that we do.
