This year I have been preparing for the birth of my first born (no I don't know if it's a boy or girl). It could be any day now! Yes, I'm a bit nervous, and quite rightly, I have very little idea about babies! I'm sure it'll be fine.
This baby is very active, its like its doing gymnastics in the womb. I’m increasingly excited about meeting this baby, wondering what its going to look like.
Likewise, this year I’ve been intrigued at what exactly churchinaclub is going to look like. The bible talks about a group of Christians as a life form, this life form is actually the body of Christ. Yes, churchinaclub is, in a mysterious way, part of the Jesus Christ’s body. Amazing!
And what has Christ’s body looked like at churchinaclub? Well, bodies are absolutely visible, so we have been!
The body of Christ has been seen bringing God’s love in our daily lives wherever that is as well some organised activities such as LOVEFALLOWFIELD which involved cleaning litter from the streets, giving bottles of water to clubbers and a football tournament.
We’ve also gathered in a great visible location at Queen of Hearts on Sundays. There has been a special sense of God’s Spirit in the place bringing grace and truth.
The church are the hands and feet of Christ. I pray that we continue at churchinaclub to be the sort of community that demonstrate a different kind of faith to the world. I hope we continue to surprise the world with what we look like.
We have two final services for churchinaclub (Sunday 29th May & 5th June) before a break over the summer. Hope to see you there as we pray for those people finishing uni and moving on from Mcr and for a fruitful summer.
Why not bring a friend along to see what we look like? They maybe surprised.
