Holiday Club–NEXT WEEK.

brian — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 08:35:39 +0000

For the second Easter break in a row, our church is excited to host a holiday club for kids p1-p7.

Even though our church is packed with 20 somethings and kids under 4, we don’t actually have many primary aged kids in our church. So our situation is, we have an amazing team led by Gordon, a high quality and high energy programme, and a great location. All we are lacking is… kids. So, on Tuesday our team made a bold and crazy plan to see if we can get the word out more.

Yesterday we filled up 200 helium balloons and put inside each of them a “holiday club” invitation and attached a starburst candy to the string. Then we prayed over the balloons and with the help of some people in the church, gave them out on the streets and in the local parks after School.

I heard those passing out balloons in the parks were mobbed by kids. Join with me in praying that many of these kids come next week.

Also, if you know any people with primary aged kids in or near Glasgow please let them know about our holiday club. It is a great time for kids, its free, and gives parents a few hours to get some things done while their kids are off school. Help us make this as well attended as it can be! BE SHAMELESS!

Surprised By Windows

brian — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 18:46:25 +0000

Earlier this week I was standing outside the church with my wife and Stephen when Kellie said, “Someday, wouldn’t it be great to get more clear windows for the rest of the building. The clear windows for the main room look incredible, and make such a huge difference… it would be amazing to do the rest.”

“It would be amazing.” I said to her, “but we just aren’t able to do that right now.”

Yesterday afternoon I received a phone call from Kirsty at the church saying, “Brian, did you know about this? Some window installers just phoned to ask if they could come tomorrow to install some clear windows, and then again on Saturday to finish off the rest of the windows on the building… do you know anything about this?”

“No. But wow!” (insert shock here)

We are so thankful to whoever decided to anonymously gift our church more clear windows! What a gift!

November (pt 2) Floors

We are in a push to get the main room “done” (if there is such a thing) by our Community Carol Service on December 11. The last major thing has been having these original, thick pine floors sanded, repaired, and sealed. The change is…

November (pt 1) Windows

There has been a shocking lack of posts thus far in November. It is past time to let you know what has been going on at Re:Hope. Two weeks ago we received the gift of clear windows. No longer does our church look “boarded up” and the transformation has been incredible.

I have seen so many people stop and look in. Some people have walked by this building for decades and had no clue what it looked like on the inside. It has been amazing!

Check out the transformation.

Prayer Request

Re:Hope is growing like crazy, people are coming to Christ, huge spiritual break-throughs are taking place in peoples’ lives, the building is being continually refreshed, but many of our team are under unusual and diverse spiritual attack.

Kellie, Emma, and Owen have been extraordinarily sick with flu this week, and both Kellie and I are feeling unusually stretched and worn. Kellie has been really stressing recently and we don’t know exactly why.

Scott is in the Hospital waiting for surgery for what looks to be a tumour. A scary time for both he and Monica.

Todd and Ruth were burgled a few weeks back, and then yesterday while Todd was there someone kicked open his door again. Todd yelled and scared them off, but scary stuff.

Andy and Julie had their baby Sophie Hope 10 weeks early and spend most of their days going back and forth to the hospital.

Kirsty has so much responsibility just now and we’re praying the Lord sustains her.

There are other things, good things but still intense- like Brian and Shauna having their baby this morning, as well as Mike and Jaelyn having their baby just days ago.

Needless to say, our team could use a bunch of extra prayer. We, as a team (those not in one hospital or another) got together for two hours of prayer and intercession for one another this morning but thought we would also ask those of you out there to pray as well.

Good times!
