Last night we had a wonderful discussion about the Trinity (Father, Son & Holy Spirit) focusing around Archie's talk and the discussion questions set for it.

Yesterday Aurel and I had an amazing conversation with five wonderful guys who run our Kebab Shop.  They're from Iraq.  They were asking about our prayer meetings and what we do in the church.  Fairly quickly, we got to talking about how we pray for people from around the world and especially Iraq.

[Hey Guys - Andrew Horton is another member of pastorate living afar at the moment - here's a note from him.  Love G]

Hey Guys!

I just heard from Bremley who's back in India!  For those who don't know Brem, he's a member of our pastorate and a research student who travels the world.  He's doing well and his BLOG is http://www.bremley.blogspot.com/ > Have a look and drop him a note to say hi!

Love from G

Girls, this is a copy of the talk I gave in our session the pastorate weekend away... love Bekah x
Waiting

‘Be still before the presence of the Lord and wait patiently for him to act.’ Psalm 37:7 (NLT)

We live in a society that considers waiting to be a bad thing.  We have fast food, credit cards that let you ‘buy now and pay later’ and diets that promise instant results.  Our society says that having things instantly is our right.

thanks to the MAN... the one and only "frenchie buddy boy"...
here are the photos of the singh pastorate week end away!!

ENJOY!!


and drop a line if you got a sec!!

Well last night was the first night of a new pastorate term. summer is on its way and we are mostly full of the joys of spring (I hope).

I thought i might begin the term in our new blogging home with some encouragement, both on the subject of prayer and maybe even for you all to begin to blog!

As many of you know the main point of prayer last night was to pray outloud for any one we know who we would like to see on the next Alpha course, to come to church or even to just begin to ask a few questions. most of us knew someone and prayed for them then.

Amazing news from our very own Ali the artist!
