Stations of the Cross update
- By Chris Curtis
- Monday 2 April 2007
Wow. A fantastic week with lots of feedback from staff and students. The eight stations were in seven schools for the final five days of term.

dare2engage

For chaplains, teaching staff, youth workers and all those wanting to make a Christian contribution in 6th forms and FE colleges.

If you’ve stopped by lately, you’ll have noticed this site has been lacking regular updates. We’re hoping to change all that in 2010. The dare2engage site is being transferred over to schoolswork.co.uk, a new national project to support Christian work in education. It’ll still have it’s own section, but it’ll be much expanded and more easily updated. We hope it’ll be a big improvement!

National Director for breathe

We’ve just posted an ad with JobSearch for someone to take on breathe over the next few years.
