I took part in some Christmas outreach with the churches in the city centre.
Organised by my friend Jonathan at Park Road Baptist Church he had arranged some awesome puppets, a craft table, lots of chocolate, and ‘happy birthday Jesus’ balloons! Crowds gathered to watch the puppets- they were sooooo good!
I brought along an old maze that I have used over the years and placed Jesus in a manger in the middle and encouraged people to explore and find Jesus.
I gave anyone who wanted to have a go in finding Jesus in the middle a heart where they could write their name on it.
The idea was inspired by that old Christmas carol in the bleak mid winter!
What can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb,
If I were a wise man
I would do my part,
Yet what I can I give Him,
Give my heart.
Amazing idea with the hearts on the manger. I always use the last verse of In the bleak mid-winter. All the best for all the other opportunities you will have this month.
Iâve got two huge ones this week â please could you pray Chris.
Monday is our 10th Edenpark Street Nativity â we usually have over 60 neighbours out in the street singing carols.
Wednesday Iâm speaking a ladies meal at Church â loads of not yet Christians. Joint event with Motherâs Union and Prenton Ladies. Prenton ladies is a secular group that meet in our hall. They join together for this one event a year and take turns in arranging a speaker. MU has asked me because I had an amazing evening with them back on Feb 14th speaking on âThe Magic of Loveâ. Iâm really nervous about Wed.
Every blessing – Dave
