Tonight members of the church met to start the 40 Days of Community and hear what Rick Warren had to say to introduce materials and set the scene. Before we settled down to hear Rick interlaced with some worship with our live band we had pancakes. Bill (in a rare venture into the kitchen) and Joan (who is our kitchen whizz) did a great job of mass producing many pancakes that we scoffed with lemon and sugar.
David organised the various books, CD's and other materials that we will need for the next 40 days. I think we are all unsure what God has planned for us as a church. Over the next few weeks we will meet mid-week in smaller house groups to study the material, pray and listen and come together as a church on Sundays.
Introduction
Welcome to the Rushden Mission “40 Days of Community” Blog. Over the next 40 days we’re going to be exploring the theme “What on earth are WE here for?” The whole church, from the youngest to the oldest, will be in this together. We’re very excited about what God is going to do in and through this time of study as we learn what it is to be community in our church and to see how we can serve the community around our church.
This is where we’re going to be sharing our stories, experiences and thoughts and we pray that these will bless and encourage you too.
God bless
Pastor Ian Fall
