New Years Day Walk

This year we thought we’d ring the changes and take advantage of the
fact that there is free entry to Kew Gardens on 1st January and go
there. (http://www.kew.org/events/kew2009.html)

There is plenty of room for a good walk, kids play areas and indoor
areas if it rains so everything is covered.

The plan for anyone who would like to join us is to get the 11.54
train from Acton Central which arrives at 12.05 and then enter Kew by
the gate nearest to the station.  We could meet anyone who wanted to
drive at that gate (although I have no idea what the parking
arrangements are like there) at 12.15 – please let me know if you want
to meet us there otherwise we’ll go straight in.

After a few hours we’ll then head back to acton where Emma and Gill
have kindly offered to host tea and cakes.

Managing

Managing the service is an important role on a Sunday.  It involves overseeing other people’s roles and ensuring they have what they need, alongside being responsible for any problems that arise such as there being no projector for the song words, or someone being ill and finding another to take over their role.  Duties include arranging bibles, leaflets on tables, setting up creche room, tidying up after the service and even putting up signs for the toilets!

It’s not glamorous or ‘up the front’, so may suit you down to the ground!  The main benefit is that you don’t miss out on the service for the most part (although you do need to be ready to help if any need arises), and once you’ve done it a few times, the tasks needed to be done each week become second nature!

How BIG is god?

Louis Giglio was born in 1958 and grew up in a Christian home in Atlanta, Georgia. One morning at 2 AM during his freshman year at Georgia State University in 1977, he decided to follow Christ instead of the party life. That conscious decision led him to become one of the architects of the modern worship style geared towards young people with its emphasis on informal attire, expressive worship and low-key, visually driven sermons.

Louis Giglio preaches in Houston about the greatness of God – This is pretty amazing.
