‘Come away with me to a quiet place and rest for a while,’ said Jesus to his disciples. (Mark 6:31). Our friends at University of Wolverhampton chaplaincy and Lichfield Anglican diocese are organising this Quiet Day for anyone working in the Further and Higher Education Sectors in the Staffordshire, Black Country and north Shropshire areas on Tuesday 31st March. It’s open to any ecumenical friends – you don’t have to be C of E to take part. See flyer for sign-up details or scan QR code

FE Sunday – being held for the first time ever on Sunday 15 May 2022 – is an opportunity to pray for your local college and for the Further Education sector, and to consider how your church could love and serve your local college. More details and resources will become available soon. Meanwhile, watch our region’s FE Chaplaincy Ambassador Nigel Roberts introducing FE Sunday, here or above.
Our friend Lahna Pottle, 16-19s specialist at SchoolsworkUK (part of Youthscape), is looking for student volunteers to help create a new prayer resource. If you know someone who can help, read on! Lahna writes:
“Hello everyone! I am currently in the midst of making an exciting new resource for Sixth Form and FE Colleges. The resource is based on nearly a years worth of research into 16-19 year olds engagement with faith, God and religion. One of the key findings from this research is ALL of the young people interviewed; christian/muslim/non-faith, have prayed at some point. So we are starting to create an explorative exhibition resource on prayer, that will allow students to explore more of what prayer is and can be.
For this resource I need a group of 16-19 year old students to get involved and am therefore asking if any of you know of any students who might want to be involved! It would mean writing an honest and authentic prayer/ sending in one they have already written and being willing to be filmed sharing their thoughts on prayer!”
