[Please forgive me if you get two copies of this. I'm sending it to both lists as it is a request for both prayer and practical assistance, and both are important - and overlap!]
Alpha is going really well, with ten now enrolled. We have had to cope with the usual problems of illness and people having to struggle to get along on a particular night. One who is very keen to come is Rick Thompson. He came the first week, but not last, as Di's shift has changed and he couldn't leave the children. Is there anyone who could offer free babysitting so he can attend? Alison has had the flu and couldn't come last week. So far I've been cooking the meal and running the discussions - with Alison's able assistance on the first night. Jo Drayton kindly turned up last week to help serve the meal and wash up. This meant she could enjoy the meal and fellowhip over dinner, without changing the dynamics of the discussion. This is a way a person [M or F] could come just once and catch the buzz. It would involve being there from 6.45 - 8.15pm. I'm happy to go on cooking, but it does make my Thursdays very long as I have an important all-morning commitment, so an occasional break would be good. [We're breaking for the school holidays by the way.] Tomorrow night we have a new person so please pray that she slots in. We also have a Chinese visitor. Last week one member dropped in to say she couldn't stay as a Christian friend from China had turned up unexpectedly. When the Christian found out what she'd prevented her 'not-yet-Christian' friend from attending she was most upset, and has asked to be allowed to come along this week - she's going home next week. She doesn't have much English, but that won't matter as she's coming as support only. Pray that she feels welcome. Tomorrow night we'll be watching Video #4 - "How Can I Be Sure of My Faith?" Pray that God will speak into people's hearts through this and the discussion.
