We are nearly at the end of the second of our long discipleship themes; we have now thought about how we should deal with money and technology as followers of Jesus. I hope that everyone has found something useful in these. The next theme will be 'Seeing God in Everyday Things', more on that later. But I thought that we'd wait until September to start this and do some more creative, fun, kid friendly things through the summer holidays. 30 July :: Celebration meal, 6.30 at the Fishburne's
6 August :: Sculpture project
13 August :: cafechurch at Costa Coffee, Tesco's Crewe, 7pm
20 August :: Film night -The Lion King
27 August :: Photography
(29-31 August :: Greenbelt festival - contact us if you'd like to come too)
3 September :: Start of the new theme - Seeing God in Everyday Things - coming up with tasks

Sounds good :o)
I could be in the USA until 25th Sept, so may miss nearly all of this.
Finding God in the ordinary is imperative and a necessary antidote to the wackiness which not finding God in the ordinary begets.
May I recommend a book: Running into God: Reflections for Ordinary Days by Dave Tomlinson. Spot on IMO.
I would like in particular - finding God in the urban ordinary to be explored. Finding he / she / it in nature is so easy - but in built up areas, depressed streets - where is God to be found in those contexts? (I have suggestions but don't want to pre-empt the discussion before it's happened!).
A good theme. A necessary one. Finding the marvellous in the ordinary invests it with so much more meaning, and negates the psychological pressure to have questionable fluffy-God experiences (though God can be in those - though I tend to think most of it is understandably human in origin).
Cheers. Tim.
