Next Gathering: 4th October

This Sunday sees another session of our rather experimental church, held in the Weeke Community Centre, with the candles lit, the bar fully open, and some music (can I say rocking away) in the background!

Activity

From the start of the evening the following materials will be made available: magazines, paper, scissors, glue. We will explain more on the evening, but essentially you will recreate yourself (whether with ‘body parts’, pictures or words) from magazine cuttings on a piece of paper. I (Bex) did this at Greenbelt this year, and found it a very helpful experience (you can see my picture), so we are planning that this can be done throughout the evening.

REQUEST: We have a lot of women’s magazines, so if there are some (magazines/brochures) with some more manly interests, that would be helpful!

Biblical Reference
Let’s not forget that this is a church, and the evening will be based around Luke 18:18-23 (Neil will explain how this fits with the activity on the evening, come along and find out!):

¹⁸One day one of the local officials asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to deserve eternal life?”

^19-20Jesus said, “Why are you calling me good? No one is good—only God. You know the commandments, don’t you? No illicit sex, no killing, no stealing, no lying, honor your father and mother.”

²¹He said, “I’ve kept them all for as long as I can remember.”

²²When Jesus heard that, he said, “Then there’s only one thing left to do: Sell everything you own and give it away to the poor. You will have riches in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

²³This was the last thing the official expected to hear. He was very rich and became terribly sad. He was holding on tight to a lot of things and not about to let them go.
