Earlwood House Party
By now, you should all know that I never blog about anything soon after it has happened, it's usually at least a couple of weeks before I even think about blogging about it.
So that is the case with this next blog, sorry. But if i said sorry everytime i was late blogging about something, well, this would become one huge apologetic blog space!
A couple of weeks ago, Earlwood Youth Group had their House Party. The Corps House Party is in September at the same place apparently. If you don't know what a House Party is (and sometimes the lingo stumps even me) it's just like a retreat or a holiday specifically to draw closer to God and come closer together as a group. In our case, it was just a weekend House Party, which they usually are for convenience sake.
It was such a good weekend and went really well but then because i helped organise the weekend, naturally i am fairly biased about it all. But i say it really did go well because we had so much positive feedback from it - whoopi!!!
I think it was good bonding time for the whole group. It united us in a way that couldn't have been achieved in any other way but a house party.
Stuff didn't always go to plan, like some of the sessions and stuff but the Holy Spirit moved in the most powerful way. Lots of people renewed their devotion to God and people were given a fresh passion to take the good news of Jesus Christ into the world around them by first building relationships with people. We learnt that if there isn't a relationship with someone then they're not likely to accept the gospel presented to them.
We were encouraged to think and pray for 3 of our non-Christian friends and commit to building stronger relationships with them to eventually see them enter the family of God. It was really awesome.
Just think. A theory as simple as relationship-building can be so powerful!
It was a great weekend and we were all encouraged to make full use of the makeshift prayer room, which everyone did!
Great, awesome things are happening with the youth of Earlwood and the House Party was a great way to make the newer people feel more deeply involved and apart of our Youth Group.
It was just tops!
