I'm not really sure where February has disappeared to! Last time I wrote a diary blog it was the 1st of the month, and here we are now at the end of the month. While the diary blog might not have been so regular I have written two reflection blogs, one on the...

Rach's Reflections - Our Little Boats

5 Feb 2018

Have you ever felt like you are just a small boat in a huge ocean? Like whatever you do isn’t going to make much of a difference? I often feel like that. The North West is so vast and I am only one person.

Last Friday, Simon (SCM’s National Coordinator) and I joined Student Workers and...

Rach's Reflections - So That

Behind the scenes at SCM at the moment we are trying to work out who or what we are. Don't worry, we are not going to stop being a movement of Christian students that care about deepening faith and putting that faith into action in diverse and inclusive communities! What we are trying to do is...

Rach's Reflections - My Little Jar of Advent

18 Dec 2017

This year, for the first time ever, I've not had a chocolate Advent calendar. I actually thought that I might go without anything this year; I'd looked at the different charity options, the "think, pray and act" sort of things, and seen the "take a photo everyday" style but had not found...

Rach's Diary - SCM Christmas

11 Dec 2017

After a long weekend off it always takes some time to get back into the swing of work, and last Monday flew by in a mixture of catching up with emails, attending the St Peter's House Team meeting and preparing for other meetings later in the week.
