Thanks Jesus for coming. Its why I live the life I do.
All praise and glory to God, our Creator, our Master, our Lord, Our Saviour, Our mighty Warrior, our Lion of Judah, our Lamb of God, Star of the Morning…..beautiful Saviour.
We had a great awesome service tonight……
Church was packed, choir and band sounded great.
Everything flowed well, heaps of good food beforehand. Great vibe before service and during.
In fact the service tonight felt like a big party, which is what I reckon Church should feel like!
Some of the youth did a drama which was funny and pointed….really exciting to see them up to the mark. Some good items and multi-media, and some fun interactive games as well……
Most exciting of all to see the heaps of people coming from different outreaches of our church rocking up to our community event….
Well sort of, in an Andrew Hamilton sort of way 🙂
We have our Pre Christmas Eve service tonight, so we did not have a service at Bedford this morning, I stuck a sign on the door, just in case someone had not listened the past four weeks, read their bulletin, or checked their emails……
So my wife organised a christmas bbq/street party at the local park. Met a bunch of great people who live on our street. Ate some bacon and eggs and played a dad versus kids game of soccer. Because most of the dads (except me) are originally from the UK, the dads kicked the kids butts. But in the end, soccer was the winner.
Great morning and opportunity to strike up friendships in our local community. People really appreciated it.
Tonight we are having our service with bring and share dinner first. Expecting a big crowd, going to play some Christmas games, including a ‘do you know the lyrics’ singing contest. Will be great fun!!!
