House Group Update

We had a great House Group last night.

A new member came, which was lovely - our second new member in the last month and we are looking at God's Covenants.

Our group is a unique one in that we have more than the 'official' number of members before it becomes apparent that the group should split if we are following the Cell Pattern, but a few of our people are at Uni and we miss them - if you're reading this, come home soon.

Tonight's session was on the Covenant of Providence and we looked at the story of Noah, alongside some other enlightening readings. We must have touched on every controversial aspect of the Christian faith - Creation, the Flood, Jesus ministry to the dead ( those that were drowned during the time of Noah - or that's what it seems to indicate, we had to ring our minister for his take on it) and the non controversial issue of prayer, or so you would think.

See Kirsty's blog!

Suffice to say the discussion was lively, interesting and dynamic and our new member said she found it helpful and would come again!

MARKET RESEARCH : What is you favourite snack at a House Group? I've provided quite a lot of fruit lately, including mangoes which only I like, apparently !!We've had pop corn, biccies, haribo and Doritos although Keith finds the crunchy snacks distracting - he tends to eat them all!

Hi Liz,

Oh house group sounded great! Sorry i missed it, although cant complain Kenya is great! Having I really good time and it can be overwelming sometimes. I've visted little villages that have no water, Nairobi Central Corp which has 3000 soldiers! SA Schools and tomorrow and Friday i'm going to vsit the slums and the SA blind and disabled schools which i'm really excited about.

any way hope your all ok.

See you soon with lots of photos!

Favourite House group snack - grpaes by far, but then they are just my favourite full stop!

Enjoyed the kiwi/strawberry/grape platter last time - a good mix!
You can keep the Mango - I won't be upset by that!

All time most inspiring of your concoctions (sp?!) has to be the Chocolate/Fruit mix.

It's like the lady from Vicar of Dibley who used to make bizarre cakes and flower arrangements!

Hee hee!

Sorry! Not much help on the snack front as I try not to snack in the evenings.

Cell group was really good this week. We missed you too Rach. Glad you are having a good time in Kenya. Can't wait to hear all about it.

Thank you for your responses - very helpful.

RACHEL - brilliant to hear from you. It sounds like you are having an amazing time.I wonder if we need to have an interim House Group to catch up with you when you get back? I chat with Keith about it.
