The Simply Christianity de-brief

So, I’ve kind of lost it with the blog of late, and haven’t much to write about.

But I didn’t give a final Simply Christianity debrief. I’m a little hesitant on that, because as the people become friends, it’s possible they’ll find this blog and read it, and though it’s all been anonymous to readers, it wouldn’t be so for them, and that could be weird. So, I might take those posts down sometime soon.

But in brief, I went off the evening feeling all rather nervous, and it wasn’t even my life! Not all the attenders who’d been along made it that night, which was a shame, but we can follow that up by other means (and one of them had been brought along by a very good friend, who is on their case :)). No-one said there and then they wanted to be a Christian – I don’t know how often that happens. But one of them came along to church last Sunday night and stayed on for dinner. He has been going along quite regularly to a later service anyway, but it was good to see him and catch up. He’s a young guy from the US, and is just blown away by the “community” ventures of the church, which is how he came to be involved, so that is great. He said he had some feedback on the course for me, so I braced myself to graciously accept it, then he told me I speak too quietly (we were up against background music in the venue we used, which we asked them to turn down a couple of times). I have never been especially “loud” and need to work on my voice projection obviously!

Two others were keen to continue on with further “study” in some means, and said they might make church this week, so here’s hoping (and they invited me along to something they had on last weekend, but I couldn’t make it, so that was nice). It’s funny, but after five weeks in the group, you feel like a little family (or something close to family), and kind of miss the people when it is all over. So, hopefully we can keep up somehow.

All up I had a great time being involved in the course, and gleaned a lot myself for doing it. They were good times!
