Monday, October 02, 2006A busy weekendWell it has felt like a busy weekend to me. Good but busy. It was great to be able to put on a "marriage vow renewal service for Mark and Dione, and their girls Eleanor and Bethany. It was a really special occasion i reckon. And didn't rain at the wrong time!! thanks to all those who helped. We also went up to an emcf celebration in Derby on Sunday. It was a fun event and great to go out for a meal afterwards together. We [the norridges] then took the opportunity to visit a good friends Adam and Karina. They are planting a church amongst the asylum seekers & refugees of Derby, as well as the ethnic minorities, called International Community Church. They do an amazing work, with incredible amounts of different types of people in, around and through [and living in] their home. It seems they have a significant group of Fasi speaking Iranians. It all blows my brian!! They also run the Beat Cafe in Derby's Arboretum Park. While on the subject of Cafe's, we are getting set up for our very own Cafe Alpha. We are plannning to have a 'welcome' event next sunday at 4pm, and then kick off for real the week after that [at 4pm upstairs in the cafe in the centre of town that isn't nero's!]. We're pretty excited by this ;o). More planning/training tonight at my place! ![]() ![]() Labels: alpha, cafe church, mission Posted by: Mark | 2:02 pm |
