Speaking as a parent who desires to be a Christ-honouring voice to my children - I hate it! I didn't realise quite how difficult Halloween was to navigate as a Christian parent until my children hit the age of being invited to Halloween parties by well meaning non-Christian friends.

Sub-zero shoebox sorting! 2010-11-30T10:11:00+00:00 2010-11-30T10:11:00+00:00 2010-11-30T10:11:00+00:00 http://www.cornerstoneuk.org.uk/resource/blog.php#13 Cornerstone How many layers do you have to wear to check a shoebox?! I know it's a strange question - but when the temperature outside is minus 7 - it's important! The answer is ';quite a lot' but if you keep moving you don't freeze! Despite inclement weather, our Operation Christmas Child warehouse at the MFI site has been in full operation (mind you I did have to dodge the odd snowball on Saturday). When is a shoebox not a shoebox? 2010-10-27T14:37:00+00:00 2010-10-27T14:37:00+00:00 2010-10-27T14:37:00+00:00 http://www.cornerstoneuk.org.uk/resource/blog.php#12 Cornerstone When it's an Operation Christmas Child shoebox! Yes ... it's shoebox time!!!! Cornerstone has been involved in Operation Christmas Child for the last 15 years - in fact I reckon we have sent over 3,000 Cornerstone boxes in that time. It's a simple and wonderful opportunity: to transform an empty shoebox into a gift-filled box which Operation Christmas Child hand-delivers to a child in need, living in real poverty, asking nothing from them in return. There's power in a simple gift - a shoebox demonstrates God's love in a tangible way to millions of children around the world.

So what's it all about? What is the apprenticeship? As a fledgling member of the Cornerstone team it immediately struck me to grill Spencer Hampton (Church Manager) on the ins and outs of the apprenticeship scheme.
