Circular preaching: could be quite intense, but I like the idea of us all preparing for the sermon together and responding likewise. Could usefully feed into church night on Tuesdays. What could we do to include people with no online presence, but who always make the effort to be physically present?

Loved the Apple Store Mathew!

Good to see what you have been reading this week. I dont expect you caught "Reverse Missionaries" on BBC2 Friday night. It showed a Jamaican Baptist Minister going back to the (now failing) church that originally sent out the Missionary to start up the Baptist churches in Jamaica.I found it to be very challenging.I expect it is still available on i-player.
God bless
Anthony

A surprising side effect of playing with your kids: can I expect a queue of people from church jostling to come and help at toddlers'?!!

I'm sure I've got a few misguided prejudices. I'm a Chelsea supporter!

I would have thought, with all those years of parenting under your belt - admit it, you have many - you are in no fit state for a career change from Pastor to Manager of Chelsea Football Club! In role as Pastor I can support you - as Manager of Chelsea, you're on your own! x

Thought provoking again Geoff do you have 'misguided prejudices' or is it only supporters of atheistic views who have them?

The thought I had at the end of the evening regarding 'rules for life' (not because I'm anywhere newr this, but because it's where I want be!) was: 'Be thankful to God at all times - be joyful - pass it on!'

Re: Life To The Full

Bug Price — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 06:30:48 -0000

Thats a great thought, and one that I personally find quite challenging.

I recently read a book by John Ortberg 'The me I want to be', which was a good read and helped me to let myself feel happier about the fact that I enjoy work, and the feeling of achievement that it gives me. I guess it's not sinful to take pleasure in stuff like that, so long as it remains a simple pleasure and doesn't assume an undue importance in my life.

I see a fair amount of death myself, and I think that one of my bigger motivators is that I want to get to my death bed and feel that good kind of tiredness that you get when you have had a really good day, and I think if I want to feel that way, then I'm gonna have to really throw myself into life - in every way (not just work).

Re: Quote: Evangelicalism and Cultural Relevance

Kate — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:01:29 -0000

Ritual, tradition, symbolism, poetry, history, relationships are all elements that my non church-going friends would expect to see in a church. They might not 'do' these things themselves, but they like to know they are being kept alive somewhere! But that doesn't mean we should drop all our rituals and symbolism and traditions in the seach for cultural relevance, or the chance to surprise people outside the church with how 'with it' the church can be. We should regularly examine what we do and why we do it, but being 'culturally relevant' is not, on its own, a good reason to be doing something. But then I did always rather enjoy being counter-cultural!

Re: Urgent Prayer Request

Geoff Cook — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 04:05:19 -0000

Please keep on praying. Geoff and Christine say:"Naomi is a bit better this morning [21 Dec] but still needs to stay in the hospital/clinic for a few more nights. Your prayers are appreciated."

Re: My Dream Job

Sam17cook — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 13:37:21 -0000

I often dream of working in the theatre making costumes and props, I'm not sure I would be very good at it but it is something that has always interested me. By being part of a community of God's people in Gravesend and Faversham, working with young people, has often given me the opportunity to use my creative side. We can all use our talents when we are part of a church community, if only we could be bothered enough. God very clearly called me to come to Faversham and when I struggle with that calling and want to quit something usually happens that reminds me that I should still be here.
