Neighbours

Today we visited our neighbourhood and gave out information about Easter and some easter eggs. We wanted to remind people of the meaning of Easter, that it wasn't just about commercialism. It was really encouraging to see God at work, even before we got there. There was Bill who was going to read Studdert Kennedy's poem faith, while he betted on the horse racing, the young lady who had watched The Passion twice recently and was not sure what it all meant, the mother who's daughter had asked her the day before what Easter was all about and was pleased to have some more answers.
There were also others who we had connected with just a little bit more than before, which we hope will lead to some more connection in the future. We left them all with the message of what easter is really about. God is at work in our neighbourhood and thankfully we can join in with him in what he is doing. Pray for us to be able to make real connections with those around us and to somehow bring redemption into their world.
