Soul Purpose - Day 1

Well Day 1 of Soul Purpose is quite literally over. There are always things, you think you can do better but on the whole it was a great day. We had the largest number of delegates (110 young people), and a team of over 50 leaders and helpers. The fun day was possibly our biggest ever with around 250 members of the local community coming - plus an RAF helicopter (I'll add images as soon as I can) and owls and pet shows. 30 teenagers at the first drop in and loads (hard to count) at the family disco. As an annual event it just keeps growing.

We were the best organised we'd ever been and the worship this morning was passionate and the teaching serious and clear.

Down at Ditherington and at Harlescott Grange the teams continued to amaze with their hard work as garden after garden was transformed. People were continually coming to ask me if we could help with those. It seems that in one small area of life, (sorting gardens) people are turning to the Church first. One day that will not be the extent of it - but in relationships, parenting, debt and most importantly direction of life now and eternally. Just great.

Tomorrow is gathered worship at NSCC, projects, the Try the Polish gig and I'm giving a short Gospel talk. Should be exciting.
