A good number gathered for worship today - which was led by Ian. we started with a time of prayer and preparation, which included praying for that meeting as well as world situations and our Kids Alive. WE also prayed for those starting university this weekend, including our Gemma, Jeanine and Andrew. Songs used in worship included:- Here I am to worship; I Stand amazed in the Presence; Your LOve is amazing; When I was lost You came and rescued me; To God be the Glory. THE SUNDAY CHALLENGE this week included mind reading, and included time for people to reach each others minds. The only successful team were Ian and his daughter Grace, but he did admit she had been told before!! But he related this to how our Father wants us to know His mind and share His thoughts with us. Thats the special relationship that we share. Susan spoke on Whose mind is it anyway? Looking at a mind that loves, serves and is humble. Acknolweding that it is the mind that controls actions, feelings, speech, decisions, the congregation were encouraged to allow Christ - the mind of Christ - to be united with theirs. Accepting that each day there are many influences on our mind, that clutter it with bad feelings, misguarded fears and hopes. If we allow the mind of Christ to be ours then we would live very differntly in the communities that we live, and we would reveal the Father and bring eternal life to many!
