READ ON FOR JANE'S LATEST NEWSLETTER FEBRUARY 2021 SCWP NEWSLETTER Change, change and more change. This seems to be the theme of this academic year. Despite this God is still continuing to work within our local schools through the project. This time last month my diary was looking busy with face-to-face activities planned for the term that I was looking forward to delivering. A few days later we entered another lockdown with schools closing to most pupils. I was initially concerned that schools would no longer require my online assemblies, but by the start of the first week of term I had received confirmation that every school still wanted them. Schools were also keen to not only use them with pupils still in school, but to make them available for pupils at home. This was encouraging to hear as it means that not only the pupils had opportunity to watch them, but also their parents. This month is looking busy with online content for schools. Assembly subjects include love, perseverance, courage, friendship and honesty. If you would like to view some of my online content please visit our YouTube page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN4psZ1OEf6aMpYS6c5a1Yg In addition to producing online content for schools I have started a level 2 distance learning course with Shrewsbury college on the subject of Safeguarding and the Prevent agenda. This is allowing me to take a deeper look at these areas and how they apply to my work. Please continue to pray for the work of the project and our local schools. Please pray for Families as they undertake the difficult job of homeschooling Teachers as they manage teaching those in school as well as providing home learning. Wisdom for the Government as they plan for schools to return. Young people for whom home is not a safe environment. Regards Jane Webber Schools Worker Schools Christian Worker Project
