One of the features of our church is that during the school summer holidays (earlier up here than in England) the regular Sunday School staff have a well earned break and other leaders offer something a little different for a few weeks.  This year the children and young people are time travelling back to Roman times to spend time with the early church, to visit some of the famous sites and thinking what it was like for the early church.  Because I think that adults and children should follow broadly the same material, the adults will be touring with Peter and Paul as we work through part of Acts.  More Cook's Tours (and he was, after all, a Leicestershire Baptist) or even Saga than Club Med perhaps, but we will be visiting:

Week 1: Joppa and Caesarea (where we visit the home of a Roman soldier)

Week2: Jerusalem (where we eavesdrop on the first major council of the church)

Week 3: Athens (where we climb Mars Hill to the areopagus)

Week 4: Rome (where our journey ends... or does it?)

Already I am being challenged and inspired as I work with the first story... it should be a fascinating journey.
