The beauty, space, stillness, prayerfulness and colour of the Church of Reconciliation Taizé

The morning service today saw us we the bread and wine blessed as we celebrated Eucharist. We also heard the Archbishop speak in church. He challenged us to consider how much God loves us.

Camp is pretty much down now as we all get ourselves ready for the journey

Miss Duerden helping well here. Making sure she gets packed up for the journey...

The Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, preached today in #Taizé: 'May I invite you this morning to stretch out your arms and say “God loves me this much”'.

The coaches are nearly here to pick us up. Gives us chance to say by to our campsite friends....

Coach was slightly delayed setting off but hoping to make up the time. Was nice to see the students relaxing together

We are arriving in Calais. About to go through Passport Control

Not quite the same as #Taize queuing but the food is certainly as welcome! #englishbreakfast #ferry
