“Joyful In Hope, Faithful in Prayer” Romans 12:12
Today (Sunday 13th) was the Second Chirch & Chips of the year, but this may have been the highlight of many because today was The Salvation Army’s Commitment Sunday 2008 – a fresh year to follow the Lord – with a mixed meeting this morning with both the adults and the children celebrating Hope, Faith and Prayer together.
The meeting began with a sketch showing the power of Hope with a modern perspective (Batteries!) – the whole meeting was based around a core theme “Joyful in Hope, Faithful in Prayer”, a hot potato if you like and we really bit into it with the children telling the group their hopes for the future and the only two St Peter Port Junior Soldiers sharing their reasons for bridging the gap between them and The Lord “Making the Best Friend you will ever make”, and Francesca talking about her experiences of MaM Summer Camp – at the end of the meeting nearly every child was kneeling at the mercy seat, – praying and walking to the foot of the cross showing an interest in becoming a Junior member of the best church in the world.
The sight will stick in the minds of many forever, the prayer time was brilliant! – the whole experience seemed wrapped up in one song which Kim sang while we put our prayers at the front of the hall, we also shared a memory verse and some hymns and action songs to bring our praise to the Lord in the most exciting way possible!
Then the whole Youth Group came downstairs to enjoy the usual Video Games and brilliant food (Sausage And Chips) and played an exciting Cranium action game – with the messages of the meeting still in the air we all went home feeling refreshed and uplifted (well I did anyway!)
and thanks to today we now have the enrollment of some Junior Soldiers to look forward too in 2008 – this year has just begun and it can only get better for Clifton Community Church!
