What a day!
It's been a great day and very interesting!
I opened the living room blinds to see a young bloke legging it up the road, pursued by an older guy, with his feet clad in his slippers! 5-10 minutes later we're in our kitchen, one policeman knocking on the window, another on our garage roof, four police cars at the front of the house and dogs. We discover that the young bloke is not one of "my lads" from the YOI but he's breached his tag and been breaking into cars up our street. They think he's hiding behind our garage. Anyway he wasn't and they didn't catch him. A right bit of excitement for a Sunday morning before we go to the Army!
We arrived at the Town Hall to prepare for our Harvest Festival in torrential rain and one of the drains erupting like a fountain. Fortunately it was all over quickly and we didn't have a flood.
It was great to have Shipley SA worship band with us to help us today and we began with playing in the High Street outside the Black Bull. There was a pretty good response. We then moved up to the local estate where we work in the school and were expecting to see loads of kids playing out but instead there was no-one about. Until we looked down the street to see once again, loads of police, ambulances and a crowd on onlookers. Apparently someone had been taken hostage in one of the houses!
Later we found that the chair lift, giving access to people with disability wouldn't work so sadly one of our congregation had to go home. What is going on today?
However despite all this we just had a fantastic day. We had a good crowd at the meeting, Shipley folks did so well, Jack our Junior Soldier was presented with his gold award (pictures later) and we were all very proud of him. And I believe God was glorified by the enthusasitic worship and people listened to the word with rapt attention. Praise the Lord for two seekers.
God bless
