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.
