We're Beginning to Get the Hang of it...!

Posted by Jessie Wisenfeld on Friday 3rd February 2012

Hallo everyone. This week has been another varied one for us all, and the term now feels well and truly in full - swing.

Friday brought another trip into Market Square as we ventured out, sadly a few team members down, onto the city streets to worship God and cheer up some chilly shoppers. Despite our dwindling numbers, we had a great morning and a few of us had some great chats with some really interesting people. This was followed by a bustling student café session. I ran a baking class at Elizabeth House, which made a change from the usual arty-craftiness, but I really enjoyed it and had a great time getting to know a couple of the girls a little better.

Reports from Saturday’s emotional health seminar tell me that it went extremely well, with a high turn-out. There was much opportunity for group discussion and many insightful questions were asked. On Sunday we were encouraged and challenged by sermons from Wes, Pete and Mark. Mark’s sermon on giving, and using out money wisely for the Kingdom, was particularly thought-provoking.

For Fay, Monday brought another fun session with the service users at Elizabeth House, during which they made pizzas. The group were enthusiastic and are getting actively involved with Fay in the planning of each of the activities. Dive was fun and customarily ninja-filled on Monday night. Pipsqueaks is also going from strength to strength—there have been many new faces recently, and lots of mothers with young babies are coming back each week. The first ‘official’ Alpha session of the term was held this evening, and the group engaged in looking at “Who is Jesus?” over pasta, pavlova and lots of chatting. The team are all really enthusiastic about the Alpha evenings ahead, and very much looking forward to seeing how God will move in peoples’ lives.

Prayer Points for the week:

• Praise God for a great first session of Alpha tonight, and for the conversations that were had. Praise Him for the relationships that we are seeing grow and develop in all of our placements, and for the growth in confidence that we are experiencing as we settle in and get to know people in all our activities.
• Please pray for the Church as a whole as we change into the new cell group structure as of this week. Pray that this will be a smooth transition, and that we would all be looking forward to what God has in store, despite the inevitable sadness that comes with change.
• Please pray that we would continue to put God at the centre of all that we do, and that we’d be turning to Him in all our planning and decision-making.
• Please, as ever, continue to pray for Mel’s healing and that she would know God’s peace and comfort.
