Welcome toCoCoChu......
BOOM - LOVE THIS
All the Latest news at CoCoChu.....Good Afternoon CoCoChuers!
This week the office has relocated to the "posh porch" at Walwyn Road - the windowto the outside world of Colwall - Alice and I absolutely LOVE IT! We are now a visiblepresence in the community and even welcoming those hiring the building which is agreat privilege! We have also had the delivery of our new printer! We are a properworking office once again! Ready to take on the joys of serving this church andcommunity.
.
I love the quote above from Pete's Greig's book on prayer. I really believe we need tolose the pressure of constant to-do lists, increasing workloads and pressures andbecome counter-cultural. It has never been about what we do for him, as if we can insome way, please him. Its really about how can we know him better in a relationship.Then we are on the same page "working WITH him and not FOR him" as Rob sharedin his fantastic talk a few weeks ago.
1 John 4:13-16This is how we know we’re living steadily and deeply in him, and he in us: He’s givenus life from his life, from his very own Spirit. Also, we’ve seen for ourselves andcontinue to state openly that the Father sent his Son as Savior of the world. Everyonewho confesses that Jesus is God’s Son participates continuously in anintimate relationship with God. We know it so well, we’ve embraced it heart andsoul, this love that comes from God.
Unfortunately, Rob's talk is not online yet. Due to times of prayer and intervals inbetween, it requires editing and I have no idea how to do this YET! A work inprogress!
What's been going on at CoCoChu this week:
