“Many believers are “rabbit hole” Christians. In the morning they pop out of their safe Christian homes, hold their breath at work, scurry home to their families and then off to their Bible studies, and finally end the day praying for the unbelievers they safely avoided all day.”
— Jan Johnson Moody Monthly, Nov. 1987 quoted here http://www.thegracetabernacle.org/quotes/Evangelism-Lifestyle.htm
Well I know it was a bit wet but God has been answering prayers.
We run camps for children and young people at the Dixon Farm at Hungarton. Two weeks before the first camp was due to start I remember looking at
grass as high as my waist and wondering how on earth we were going to
pitch the tents and whether the camp would even go ahead. It had been so wet it couldn't be cut. The camp went ahead, the leaders coped and the children had a great time.
At the Summer Beach Party I was amazed by the strength of the team, leaders of all
different ages and backgrounds had been assembled and yet they worked
together as one.
Planning for the Knighton at Hungarton weekend there was a chance the Foot and Mouth scare would get worse and scupper allour plans. Then with just a few days to go the restrictions were lifted and we had a great Barn Dance on the Saturday and Services on the Sunday.
Then with two weeks to go there was a question as to whether we would be allowed to run a stall at the Knighton Park Family Fun Day but once again God overruled and we handed out loads of our Knighton 'takeaway' bags full of literature, CDs for adults and
children.
Not a great summer for weather but a great summer for mission.
The leadership team have been giving some thought and prayer to God's vision for our church. We would love to share what we've got with you and get your help in shaping it. If you can come we meet Wednesday 4th July, 7.30pm in the upstairs hall. Sorry if you were planning on celebrating Independence Day!
There's so much going on that we have put upcoming events on a calendar at the church building. We gave some out at the last church meeting and we'll try and update it monthly.
Operation Christmas Child attempts to bring joy into the lives of impoverished children at Christmas. Last year over 200 gift filled shoe boxes were donated by the people of Knighton. We are asking for your support again this year.
