The last Leadership Team meeting of the session took place here:

An Italian eatery called La Vita Spuntini (The Life [of] Snacks) in Glasgow's West End.

Over delicious food,  we dealt with a few urgent matters, sorted out the planet and simply relaxed.

I think every Diaconate, Eldership or whatever name it gives itself should do this now and then.  In fact, I think every church group or team should relax together now and then, as it allows relationships to deepen as well as reminding us of our humanity.  Whether it is the 'Monday West House Group' May bank holiday BBQ (when it almost always rained) or the 'Deacons' Away Day' carvery I have always found these moments of fellowship among the most valuable time spent together.

So, well fed now, and well relaxed later, we will be ready to begin the new session at the end of August.
