5 day Work Experience

'This week, I spent time with Suse and n:flame finding out what a youth worker does, on work experience.

On Friday I turned up at the n:flame offices at Palmers Green Baptist Church to meet Suse who introduced me to some of the n:flame team, Ruth Barratt and Andie Frost. After this quick encounter with people that I would be seeing more of as time went by, we went back to the church flat to do some proper

work, Suse replying to emails and preparing bible studies and lessons for future home groups and what not while I designed a leaflet for the upcoming ladies pamper evening in the church lounge and also a poster for the CU in Woodside High School called Roots.

On a Monday where I attended the nFlame Monday morning meeting where they spend time worshipping God because during their normal church days, having to look after the youth of the church, they rarely get the chance to be a part of the service. Lunch at the Orange Cafe was next on the agenda then a return to the nFlame offices where I designed

another CU poster for Palmers Green High School which swiftly replaced the Woodside High School Cu poster too!

Tuesday was probably my busiest day yet, starting at Woodside High School to take part in the CU there with Suse, Georgia and a couple of teachers. We had a good time talking about great songs to run too, because Suse likes to run, and the winner was “Dance” by Tim Hughes. All agreed that his “Happy Day” album is awesome!

I was spoilt again for lunch. We went to Cafe Latino in Wood Green where we ate and talked about Romans 6 and learnt that “sin shall no longer be your master because you are not under law, but under grace.” After learning from Paul, Georgia and I went back to Palmers Green Baptist Church where we were trained for the Tunbridge drop down day that the Gap Year

students with n:flame were taking part in. It was a good way to learn about what nFlame get up to with Schools work because on Wednesday I was going to take part in a lesson for nFlame in Palmers Green High School.' - Josh, Work Experience Student from Latymer School.
