So last Friday saw our 4th Unite meeting take place at Girls County High. It was great to see everyone there and was good being able to share, eat, laugh and cry together (perhaps not so much of the crying).
This month, we were joined by Phil Harverson and Ruth Leverett from Oasis church who spoke to us about seeing God in the ordinary, day by day routine of life and how we should stop more and find joy in what's happening today rather than rushing forward to the next thing. They spoke brilliantly and loads of people responded by taking a stone away to remind us to see God in the ordinary.
We were also incredibly blessed (as always) to have Pete and Nicki from Outcry back to lead worship with us.
Other highlights:
Discovering that leaving chewing gum under a church seat is worse than leaving it in someone's hair.
Giving announcements for the first time in Unite history and feeling like a proper little church.
The launch of the Guest Speaker 2nd Gear Challenge: We have decided to pit our guest speakers against each other in a battle of speed and cunning by giving them a remote controlled car and getting them to go round our track. We watched Matt White first who spoke to us last summer and was videoed going round our track last week:
We then had the pleasure (nay the privilege) of watching Phil's shocking display live as he smashed his way round the course:
I think he should have had a number of time penalties added on for missing certain aspects of the track completely but we figured that he'd humiliated himself enough.
So that leaves Matt White at the top of our leader board with 1 minute and 39.03 seconds and Phil Harverson with little chance of beating anyone at 2 minutes 11.41 seconds.
We'll see how well the rest of our guest speakers do in the future.
