Conversations in contrast...

"Thanks for making Church so much fun..." a guy from youth club encouraged us today after the meeting. I remember when he first came to church, after two weeks he asked if he could bring a friend, another two weeks and they asked could they bring a friend even if they were not religious! Today they brought another friend - we were encouraged!!

"I couldn't cope in there - everyone is too happy and I'm not..." Kate had an earlier sob filled conversation with a client from the local de-tox unit who had to escape worship. I like it when the clients from Grieg House come while in their 2 week stint there - most have never been to church at all, it gives you a reality check, stops you being complacent. Sometimes it goes really well sometimes not. Today all but one left before the end which was disappointing.

A word of encouragement for you. On the way back to Greig House one of the people said that they had enjoyed the meeting and that you look like you really enjoy your job.
