Today was Beth’s first day at her new secondary school – and she seems to have loved it. She acts all grown up, and it probably makes me feel a little older!

Today was my first day of working in the new YFC offices in Halesowen. It is an amazing building and a great environment to work in – if you want a meeting or conference area in the midlands area you should make use of this. I facilitated a meeting there today and the experience was really great and much better than some other locations that I could (but won’t) mention.

Today was the first time YFC got together our workers that work with children in junior schools. This was a bit of an historical event, looking at what our workers do and what we can be doing to support them in this unique role.

Today was the first time I met some people from other centres and new staff. I always count the meeting of new people as being a real highlight of my job. I find meeting and talking with people and hearing of their plans and visions helps me to deepen my understanding of God.

Today was also the first time new YFC training room was used!

A day of firsts can be very exciting!
