Last Friday seems like only moments ago, but I feel I've done so much this week too! Today started off with Quiet Time, where we looked at John 15:5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.". Later while reading my daily Bible reading booklet, I was no longer amazed to see that today's verse was the exact same one! I think God has this way of getting things in to me in multiple ways at the moment! Half way through Quiet Time I was asked if I could project the song words for the morning's sung worship session. I went and got my laptop, and started checking I had all the songs that the triplet leading the worship time wanted. Fortunately I did. Then we actually had the worship session. We finished off the week's teaching on the Holy Spirit with a summary of the teaching, and an opportunity to ask any more questions. We then met in our triplet groups and prayed about the week's teaching and planned our worship session, which will be next Friday. After lunch we performed our usual Community Care duties, after which I helped out in the wash up room, drying plates etc. I had to pack and get ready to go to Portsmouth in the afternoon. I'm there now for a friend's birthday party. Local outreach was quite harrowing tonight: one of the homeless people we met had quite a disturbing story to tell us. It is very sad to see what happens to people 'sleeping rough'. We walked up to Brighton station to see if there were any homeless people up there, but there were not. I stayed there, got my ticket to Portsmouth, and managed to jump on a train which left a few minutes later. Have a great weekend!
