This past weekend was fantastic. On Saturday night we had our very first acoustic night. 110 people came and enjoyed three great bands and a chance to meet new people and further existing relationships. The atmosphere and comments that I had after lead me to think that that this could be something that we would repeat. The links here are to Vimeo where you can enjoy something of what went on: Abi Hope, The Bambury Tree and Gecko Collective.
However the weekend got better and better. Sunday morning saw one response to the gospel. A guy who had been coming regularly for a year, put his hand up during the end response and committed his life to Jesus. It was fantastic. To see his him and his mum afterwards hug was amazing and a real answer to prayer.
Then, if that wasn't enough, in the evening another first time response to the gospel. Someone who has been coming to Alpha, came to the acoustic night then came to the evening meeting for the first time and gave their life to Jesus. I spoke to her and as far as i could tell the Spirit had moved mightily in her and had definitely given her faith to put her hand up and step into a new life of forgiveness. We came back to the church office and the salvation bell was wrung for the first time this year!!!
All in all a weekend to remember and one to praise our God for as he was the architect of all that happened.
