If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

Update on 'radical' church service

Hubby and I are just back from church. It seemed to go very well, people joined in enthusiastically in reading out Psalms and writing down prayer requests. Not everyone prayed out loud (do you think God still heard?), and I'm not sure how many people will comply with the request to put the prayer request they drew onto the fridge and pray whenever they open said fridge... but I think God got some work done, so that's great!

Thanks to the people who prayed. It helped.

In particular, thanks Chris for the encouraging comment - it really helped this morning when I was wondering what on earth I'd gotten myself into.

Feel free! :-)

I'm noticing God is a far better meeting organiser than I am... must be the length of experience he has or something.
