Catching up…
Posted by chrisfox on June 18, 2009
Haven’t blogged since last Thursday about my church placement so thought that I should go through the last few days.
Sat – At a diocese event in Chippenham learning a new piece of choral music… reminded me of my days as a choirboy. If I’m honest, it was a bit too full on for me – sometimes wondered whether our object of worship was God or the music… shouldn’t be so judgemental really.
Had a lovely walk along the Bristol Avon fish-spotting as well.
Sun – I attended every service at St Peters beginning at 8am for their early morning communion. I rapped, read and served the bread at the family communion at 945am. In the evening I led evening prayer… all about God’s OUTRAGEOUS grace. We looked at the passage in Mark 7 where the “sinful” woman annointed Jesus with perfume. Really good evening.
Mon – Visited a couple of people who are members of St Peters, including a 95yr old lady who has an MBE and has been on “This is your life” for her work in Bangladesh. That was a good afternoon! In the evening I went to a group studying the prophets.
Tues – Morning consisted of morning prayer (as per every day), an “accountability group” which works to ensure that things get done at St Peters. Then I went on a visit. I attended a funeral in the afternoon, and in the evening went along to the pre baptism preparation being done with two families.
Weds – Day off and FISHING!!!
I’m really enjoying the challenge of being part of life at St Peters… really starting to build some relationships.
But I’ve got to leave on Sunday for another place.
Funny how God seems to do that sometimes…
