What a great day at my Corps yesterday, the worship was relevant and meaningful - at least it was to me - others felt the same and expressed it. Afterwards we all went to the local park and played games and chatted in the rain!! People around came and joined with us and when the rain was too heavy to stay out in we all went back to the hall - local families as well and played some frankly ridiculous games, drank tea and coffe and built something very special - relationships: within the fellowship and more especially with those who came with us from the community.
I really think it was a reflection of what the church is like when it's done properly - not being so precious about it's rituals and forms that it can't let it's hair down and do what the great commission says 'GO!'
I led evening worship - same building different congregation. They tell me it was a good service. We sat around tables and did theology together, we thought about unity of mind and spirit, we considered that the church is to be built only under the fire of the spirit and we can only have a part of that when we immerse ourselves in him. We prayed specifically for people that we wanted to come to know Jesus and we pledged to continue praying for those people both within and outwith the church. We even had a little fire in the building to demonstrate.
Oh and of course we ate!!
