No I’ve not been exercising, although I do need to but that’s a whole other subject! No, today Graeme and I put on a BBQ at church. It’s something we’ve been planning to do for ages so it was good to finally do it.
It was one of those events that had loads of reasons for being done. Firstly (and in no particular order) we have to raise £150 for the corps and the College candidate fund so this was a good way to raise it. It managed £120 in one evening so we’ll really chuffed with that, just £30 left to get. Secondly we said to the corps that we’d organise a summer social event so that we could all come together other than on a Sunday so again another good reason for a BBQ. Finally it was an opportunity to invite friends & family as wellas people who come to other things we put on at the corps during the week. A GREAT reason for a BBQ!!!
Graeme and I have been advertising it to everyone, talking to them about it hoping that people would come and we weren’t disappointed. There was 36 of us in total which is great when you think we get about 15 people to a morning meeting, so we were really pleased!
It was great to have everyone there enjoying the food we’d prepared and chatting away to each other. People seemed to have a good time and it was wonderful to have some people there who only ever come to coffee morning come to the building on another day.
I think one of the memories I’ll take with me is almost at the end of the evening there were 8 of us left. We’d eaten as much as we wanted packed away a lot of the chairs, tables etc and we just sat, talked together and relaxed in each others company! For me that was special.
It’s now time to sleep and this post might not read as well as I’d like but if I don’t write it now I probably wont! This evening was our last ‘event’ before we move and in many ways it’s such a shame as I feel we’re just starting to build some good relationships with people and see some doors starting to open. I know God has all things under control so I just have to trust that He will send others into these peoples lives and be able to bring them through to either faith or a deeper faith in Christ.
Time for bed, I’m shattered! ZZZZZZzzzzzz
