Today (Sunday 13th January) was another day where we all gathered at our place of worship – ready to speak to the Lord before we all go our seperate ways and journey into the world of School, Work and Family for another exciting week.
Today the meeting began with an important statement, one I thought was so important that I titled the blog with it this week God Is Pleased With You Today Because?… and by all means add your reasons to the reply box below – anyway, we all went around and greeted people we may not have seen before, or had the chance to talk to yet on a personal level and spoke those kind words to each other. – then the adults in the meeting took some time to worship in a more adult fashion – learning, talking and singing with the Baptism of Jesus being their “Hot Potato” for today.
Downstairs the two Primary and Youth groups split – the younger group learning about the trials and tribulations of Esther, her husband and her religion Judaism – using the colourful and exciting bible story to extend their understanding of God and his amazing book for life, his plans and hopes for the world. The older Youth group spent some time looking at an aspect of the Activate! Junior Soldier Preparation course – learning about helping others and asking God to help them change something in their lives this week. The handpainting went down a storm with the children and left me thinking that the Lord seems to make his worship and learning about him better every week.
Todays “Cooldown” with the group dining on “Beefburger and Chips” and playing an assortment of games – be it virtual or physical (or in some cases problem-solving) with Cranium Super Fort had the group socialising but not forgetting the teachings of the day and the upcoming decision and enrollment of the 2008 Junior Soldiers.
This week saw the Closure of Church & Chips on Facebook – the current members being left to leave at their own accord and The Church & Chips Blog becoming the central source of C&C News and Updates – so check back here regulary as we hope to update it with Prayer Topics & Bible Readings and the Church & Chips Weekly Reports
We hope you All have A Brilliant Week
From All At Church & Chips
