The Mission Sparks Podcast

Ep.10 - Where does this fit in the journey: Holiday Clubs

Neil joins Matt, Beckie, and Pete to talk Holiday Clubs. Whether you're a seasoned expert or you've never had a go, there's something in this conversation for you. The team also discuss the most important question yet raised on the Mission Sparks Podcast: Can Matt fit a slinky in his mouth?

Ep.9 - The greatest missional tool we have is the Bible: Dave Newton

Dave Newton - National Director of Scripture Union England and Wales - discusses the value and role of the Bible in the work of mission. Conversation turns to the old Scripture Union exam, the value of Scripture memorisation, and how impossible it is to read the Bible without getting excited for God's mission to rescue his people.    Contact: Sparks@scriptureunion.org.uk [Sparks@scriptureunion.org.uk] FB: ScriptureUnionEnglandAndWales Insta: ScriptureUnionEW

Ep.8 - You have a captive audience: Collective Worship in primary school

With a particular focus on Collective Worship and Assemblies, this episode explores opportunities in primary schools, how to join the dots, and reminisces on some of the songs we used to sing (and maybe still do.)    sparks@scriptureunion.org.uk [sparks@scriptureunion.org.uk] SU Story Explorers | Scripture Union [https://content.scriptureunion.org.uk/product/205]
