It was a hoot! If and when we do my skit, in church I have a long dressing gown suitable for my character to wear. I’ve already got my skit ready for next week – The Lost Sheep – so you’ll have to pick something else! I’ll bring my gown for that skit too, and I somehow think it will feature prominently in my winter performances! I’ll get Caleb to be the sheep. He likes being in lots of things.

Freely you receive - Freely give.... so many gifts... so many talents ....God has made us with this great desire to want to give... but it's equally good ...in fact it seems even better to receive.... to be part of the audience (although Paul did say the givers get the better end of the deal). So even if you don't have an act come to watch, gather with others who have things theatrical.... 5 people made it to the meeting all eager to give of themselves, to connect to one another...food, fun, faith,,family, finance, fellowship all pooled in to bless & benefit one another. ....the banquet was enough to feed 15 people... a big casserole 2 extra large pizzas, stacks of mini quiches, the giving is in generous proportions .... so come and eat.... taste & see that the Lord is GOOD !

Jesus said nothing without using parables and illustrations ...he reminded John his cousin to remember and consider the things he'd seen & heard... Marianne & I are off to New Zealand for 2 weeks, for a well earned rest.... Our kids & there spouses are coming as well and my grandson too of course he's almost 1. We hope to get him on snow skis when we are at Queenstown. |
Thurs.May 12, 2011is our First night, 6pm at the Church.
6pm start .then there will be an intermission at about 7.30pm if you need to leave early (eg with young kids etc) & will probably continue to about 8.30 -9pm Food always helps fellowship, so bring a plate to share, probably a drink as well, and a few paper plates, plastic cutlery... hey everyone pray for a few creative cooks to help in this area (hospitality giftings).... this is a place for creativity. Come ready to share about your giftings of course in a creative way.... 5-10 min each ....release your talent !!!! ...if you can bring a filled-in gift & talent sheet this would be good but otherwise fill one in on the night for your name tag.... as a connect group I believe we will continue to grow... as I don't know of anything like this in church circles.... a great opportunity for others to come to give their talents to the Lord & his people... greeting everyone by name will cause connection immediately... See you Thursday Showing Jesus .....Garry SHOWING JESUS

The "Mother of All" was our first (& pre) opportunity to share our God given pizzazz giftings with our family at Hunter cc. Even before the group has even met ..... My thanks to the cast and support crew.... lots of good feed back.... I look forward to us all meeting to pool our wealth of gifts. |
