Holy Spirit

My cell has been running an Alpha course in collaboration with the Chaplaincy Centre, and we held our Holy Spirit away-day today. We tootled down the road out of Lancaster for 10 minutes and found ourselves in an adorable little meeting room belonging to an adorable little church surrounded by cows! Those cows kept us amused for way too long! My excitement about the weekend had really built since we discussed and prayed for the Holy Spirit in cell last week. I wasn't disappointed. Our speaker, Sandra, judged the tone and content just right for the group and even as a host rather than a punter I got loads of of the talks and the discussions. Nearly everyone wanted to be prayed for to receive the Spirit at the end of the day...the atmosphere was simultaneously electric and utterly peaceful. Just a lovely, lovely day.

And the wonderful Ruth of Lancaster/Luton/London wonderness is arriving soon! The day just gets better, and tomorrow's looking dandy too: church, then a student barbecque with the pastor and wife, who are awesome to spend time with, then my friend's birthday sleepover in thirteen-year-old girlie style with make-up and chocolate and all the rest :D
