Clearing through the clutter

This weekend we have Emma's commissioning at her home church, which is going to be really exciting.

We also have a pancake night next tuesday:

We hope to have a discussion with those adults who attend at the value of give stuff up to help us see what is important.

Planning this has made me wish the evangelicals (&Baptists) made more of lent, i wish i made more of lent. It such a great opportunity to remind ourselves of what is crowding our true relationship with people and most importantly God.

So much can crowd out that hearing the still small voice of God and what he says about us and wants for us. Most give up chocolate. which is good for the waste line, but what about Facebook, texting all day long, watch tv all night, drinking alcohol. None of which are wrong, but all can stop us hearing what God thinks/ wants of us.

We're not going to challenge people to give one think up for the while of lent as this might be a big first jump we're going to challenge people to give up one thing each day for the 40 days.

please pray for this, maybe you'd like to join us?
