This weekend we were realising potential
Just a quick post to let you know what we were up to this weekend. Myself, Fiona and John joined our friends in St Albans to work on devising an exciting new course. A pre-Alpha, if you like. A course that helps assess your gifts, passions, and desires. The idea is that we (me, fiona, whatever) go in for a few sessions into an existing bunch of friends or cell mates, do the exercises with them and then move on. It's meeting a felt need - finding a way to give something helpful to non-christians.
Things I enjoyed about this weekend:
- staying with Liz West, what a wonderful woman, what a joyful house
- getting away with friends, staying with people who know and like me
- the course is good; really good and it will work very well
- being able to talk about myself (the good bits) and feel affirmed
- learning all the good bits about other people
In seeking to plant church that engages with 18-30s that don't normally engage with church, we are going to have to get creative. This course does that... and that gives me a warm feeling in my toes.
