Hi!

It was good to be together for a yummy fry-up this weekend and thanks to those who cooked, served or cleared up. We also spent time praying  for each other and for the Community Garden Project which seems to be on the cusp of big things!

Tony was reminded of some thoughts that he had shared some time back about 'other people's babies'. Being a very efficient university lecturer he had of course typed those thoughts out!. You can see them by clicking here

Also as was mentioned on Sunday the team are meeting soon. If you have any thoughts on our future together then please do get in touch.

Loads of Blessings, Jonny

Fancy a Fry up?

I think we can all agree that our day together nearly two weeks ago was a really important time.  Tim brought some real wisdom to us and left us with a lot to think about!
There was also a general agreement that it was good to spend time together and it would be great to have more time in the future to hear about each other's lives and tell our stories. 

This coming Sunday (28th April), we thought it would be great to get together at the Sylvia Beaufoy for a good old fry up - bacon butties, fresh tea and coffee - the works.  How does that sound?

We didn't get much time to pray for each other during our day together, so let's come with that in mind - ready to put a hand on someone's shoulder and give them a blessing.  We will also be giving some time to hear about and pray for the Community Gardens, which Caroline helps to run.
 
We will be meeting at the normal time of 10.30, upstairs in the coffee bar area.  If you are on set up, please arrive at 10 (no earlier) to help with the food.  Thanks.

See you then!

Inspiration

Hi all, we have one of our meal's planned for this Thursday, 7:30 at 16 Littlecote.

Naomi is making a huge Lasagna and asks that others bring the following;
Bread
Salad
Soft drink
Non-soft drink!
Pudding

Please let me know what, if anything you're able to bring.

Finally although this is an informal evening, as a talking point... the theme of the evening will be 'inspiration!'. If you're able to please bring something that has inspired you recently. This could be a book, a DVD, a CD or something else. It doesn't have to be deep and meaningful or even 'spiritual'. Just something that floats your boat!

See you Thursday

Jonny
