More catching up...

...with Derek's tales from his sabbatical this Friday.

What are your thoughts on how other churches (like the ones Derek visited) operate?
Heres a link to a couple of websites.

Please keep praying for our church and let us share what God is saying.

I have looked through these sites and one thing that struck me was the community involvement.

The question on my mind is while the church at St Marks is involved in community how much is the Friday Service involved together as a group?

Last weel some one said that the group had thought through the aims and vision for theFridayService.

Would it be helpful for these to be posted in a prominent place?

Don't forget: we'll also be sharing in a simple communion service as part of tonight's meeting.

See you there!

Theres lots of discussion in the archive section of this blog about our direction and vision. Although this is obviously still up for discussion and debate.
I said at tonights meeting that it can be frustrating for me to 'stand still and reflect' and sometimes it feels as though we are going around in circles.
Heres an article about one of the books Dereks talked about which is interesting.

The link worked for me.

Well spotted, Julie. Good article.

And thanks for the honest contrubution to the debate. I hope we can begin to get somewhere soon, though. As I said, everyone is discussing what it means to be church at the end of Christendom. In the end we will probably learn by doing...

Meantime, I'm truly grateful for the group who are exploring this with me each Friday. Thank you!
