I went to a BSL course for beginners at Darlington Deaf Centre this morning. I actually enjoyed it and was perhaps a bit better at it than I thought I would be. But will I remember it all?!
I accompanied Richard this afternoon to the Darlington YMCA to follow up an enquiry from a few guys there that are apparently interested in coming to next week's Alpha course. We need to involve Graham, a manager there and a member of King's, in arranging a meeting for us all to be present. Richard is going to chase this up.

I had supply work at Gurney Pease today...excellent!
It was nice to have Shelley round for tea tonight. She is very passionate about her walk with God.
I went to Connect Group tonight, discussing Mike's preach from Sunday. It was clear that for all of us, it is important to be rooted in the truth of the Bible rather than rely on feelings, especially in difficult times.
Mike and Kay set off today for Thailand and then later their work in Cambodia.

Toni and I went to the King's Centre and arranged a date with Phil regarding renewing our wedding vows. Great stuff!
We also chose a design for Welcome Team tops.
We then had a great time meeting up with Gavin and Paul. The four of us caught up with each other and also shared a few ideas for a couple of preaches we have coming up: Gav at King's for the February Explorer Sunday and myself at Emmanuel in Durham (http://www.emmanuel.org.uk/) for their equivalent, Hope Sunday, on the same day. Shared wisdom really does help, that is why team work is so important.
Furniture with John tonight: 4 jobs, meaning more excellent furniture collected.

It was an excellent morning at King's. Toni did really well in the worship team, including a solo part to start a song. Mike preached well on 'You are a new creation', informing us that, as Christians, we have a new address, a new drive and a new job.
Our old spiritual address was in the kingdom of darkness but now we live in the kingdom of light, regardless of how we feel about it. Our new drive is to live for Jesus, to live in the present and the future and not the past; we are compelled by the love of Jesus. Our new job is the ministry of reconciliation: to preach the gospel to all the nations.

It was great to have Kath and Kevin round for dinner tonight. We had good fun. I enjoyed trying a new recipe also: chicken breasts with a couple of vegetables and a traditional Japanese sauce. Not that I had it; I don't like chicken!

I went with Josh to the doctor today: he is going to look in to having a small growth on his arm removed.
Ultimate Treasure Hunting tonight: it was incredibly cold and we found little visible 'treasure'. Onwards we go though... (http://www.ultimatetreasurehunting.blogspot.com/)
I have received contact from Dan in Durham Emmanuel Church who is hoping to begin an Ultimate Treasure Hunting mission group there. We are looking at how we may work together and support each other. More news to follow as it happens.

Hooray: I had some supply at Gurney Pease today, teaching Year 1. They are only little but they are quite a challenge!
