It’s 7:49, I’m sitting in Pete and Ali’s flat in Durham and I’m the only one up so it makes perfect sense to work on some website updates and think about Grapevine 2007.
In so many ways, Grapevine never fails to surprise me. God always moves in a mighty, powerful way. His presence is completely undeniable. Parts of Heaven fall to earth. This year some things did manage to surprise me like giving 600 children disinfectant wipes after every meeting because of the Rat urine and poison that was evident round our venue.
Arun Community Church had 23 people (probably a conservative estimate) representing it in various forms. 11 of those were involved with Powerpack. The others spread between Links International, Pura Shop and visiting.
Powerpack, was a good as ever. Heather and her fellow leadership team taught on the Lord’s prayer where they broke it down into bite size pieces and explaining the deeper meaning.
The weekend was not quite without it’s problems. Rosie was ill (quite possible from the aforementioned Rat urine) and missed the best part of a day. And me? Well I had a sound desk that was on it’s last legs and some large power issues (I’m choosing to blame the Rats). The sound desk one hopefully will be resolved, I’m happily writing my specification for next year.
