Lots to report on
Lots to report on this week. Sunday evening was packed out as guests and students filled every chair in the room to listen to Ruth teach us about 'spiritual gifts'. It was great to look at what the bible says about them, and to have a comprehensive list of all the gifts God gives us in order to bless others. God is so gracious!
Monday morning a few of us went into the market place to film clips for our carol service reading. It was fantastic to see the locals enthusiastically getting involved and shouting out 'glory to God in the highest!' in the middle of the market square. Through it we were able to have some great conversations and invite people along to church. Hallelujah!
We looked at what 'community' means in out team meeting this week. It was a good opportunity to test out our artistic abilities (or lack of!) and discuss what it means to be a part of God's family (the church as Jesus' body) and how we can love one another. Furthermore, the month of December is a time when we can really put 'community' into practice. There is so much going on, and we're busy preparing for lots of christmas parties, meals, and outreach events, so please pray for energy. It's really exciting!
Coffee mornings in Gilesgate, with the older residents of the community, are going really well. Numbers are still growing, and we were able to invite many more along to our carol service. It's great to see so many coming along and share fellowship with one another.
Our individual placements are going well, but next week will be the last session for most of us as we get ready for the student houseparty and for the christmas holidays. Please pray for opportunities to continue building good relationships, for energy and organisation, and thank God for all that he has done so far. Praise be to God! Amen!
