Thursday 26th August

Today 6 people attended Bible discussion. This is a little down from our normal numbers but with this size group people were more willing to share. We also sang a couple of songs at the beginning which most people enjoyed. These songs were sung to a praise music dvd. So far I have 4 people committed to attending the Church camp please continue to pray about this and the logistics of getting them there and taking care of them at the camp.
Roxan and her daughter Bethany prepared a beautiful lunch and desert for the group today. Thank you both.

Thursday 19th August

Today 12 people attended Bible discussion. This was not including Ann, Josh and myself. One guy finally made it there from my invitation and others on Tuesday night. He had also tried previously to attend but I believe now he got the wrong Church. Another guy who had not been doing so well a few weeks ago returned and was calm and glad to be there. Praise God and thank you for everyone's prayers. Sorry no photo today. Lisa's fudge brownies were also a hit. Thanks.

Thursday 12 August

Hi all,
Thanks for your prayers. Thursday was well attended with 10 people turning up. One guy who came I think has only ever been once before a long time ago. He was very drunk but extremely quiet and well behaved. I think he slept some of the time as is expected. The son of one of the men who attends regularly was extremely coherent and shared with the group. That was great. It does not normally happen but when it does it is very encouraging. I also started advertising our Church camp to the group. I think at least 4or 5 will attend please pray about this.
Please also pray about the organisation and logistics of getting them there and watching over them.
Thanks Michael

5th August Thursday Bible Discussion

Today 10 people attended Bible discussion. This was not including Josh, Ann, Shirley and myself. David the minister of CPC was also there for a short time. Thanks to Shirley who provided a great lunch which was a hit. Thanks for your many prayers I am sure this made the day run quite smoothly. A new person came today and I think really enjoyed the afternoon. Please pray he will return. I am also thankful a regular elderly lady attended today as her heart is not good and her pacemaker will be replaced this month.
Thanks for your prayers Michael

28th July Thursday Bible Discussion

Today 7 people attended Bible discussion not including James, Josh Ann and myself. This seems to be the average number lately with people being away and Jim in Bali. I was thankful this week to have James lead the group and Roxan cook lunch for us. It was a tough study today with aggressive Bible discussion. However saying this I am thankful that people will express their mind and possibly get out some agression they are harbouring. I am also thankful that God was with us and everyone left the afternoon at peace and in a reconciled state.
Through this God continually reminds me of what our Chruches should be like. We will always have disagreements but how we deal with them will show what we truly do believe in.
Thanks for your prayers they are much needed. Thanks also to God for continually showing His sovereignty over Tuesday nights and Thursdays.
Michael
