How can you visit a website without it mentioning BREXIT?
Well that's all you are going to get about it here, were fed up with it and how the whole process is City of Peace and Café Forever exist to bring people together, through the love of Jesus. And that's what we are doing! ....But it's quite difficult with men, to get us together and go and do something, some of us are old and have back pain, some of us are young and want to go to live concerts, some of us are married and tied down to helping the wife! It seems there's no end of excuses, but there's one event that we have run that has almost always been attended, go-karting! In February there was a deal on in the nearby track and 11 of us went down to go and test our nerves and reflexes. The little machines are really fast and it is a lot of fun - always a good way to make connection with those who don't normally attend a church.
causing division among people.
Another way of reaching people is through our City of Peace youth events organised by Hannah Luke.The group meets on Wednesday evening and is attended by about 10 young people. Over half-term they got together for a game of Jugger in the park. Jugger is a strange game, eye-catching because participants run around with huge lances, maces, swords and shields, all made of foam,and try and pin each other down. Its a hard work out but a lot of healthy fun for this lot. Hannah also works in partnership with Marlene who runs the Kids club at Café Forever on Thursday night. It may seem strange for a youth-worker to be working with children, but some of these children will be considered youth next year,so it is good for a smooth transition.
The church also hosted the pancake day party, a crazy occasion that brings many local children and their parents into Café Forever to consume a huge number of the things filled with chocolate, syrup, all the messy stuff, which makes cleaning up really pleasant!
And of course our Café; you have read on may occasions that it is a great place for meeting new people and a comfortable place to talk about things that trouble people, share the gospel and the hope that comes with it. Of course it would be difficult to run a Café that has a low hygiene rating, and once again we're proud to have received a 5 star award (in conjunction with Joe Vella of https://www.magna-fhs.com/)
While we are so busy reaching out to the locals, some of us are from other lands and so it is great to be able to get back to our country of origin and visit family, which we did, in February, for a wedding. Our children spent about 3 hours of each day in the various swimming pools of the homes we visited, which is just exactly how I hoped it would be.
