...actually I think the Togwells continued this slot praying (11-12pm) :) and at 12pm we all crammed into the prayer room together to share stories of our experiences with God over the past 24 hours. It was great to hear and see (as I looked on the floor) God speaking through us as a body and feeling a fuller picture of our father as I listened to each of our voices around the room. Some had hard, but good experiences and there were many writings and prayers for justice and for the poor and forgotten. I'm conscious as I write that its difficult for 'one' to sum it all up just from my perspective so heres a few words Phil put in his blog...
'Wonderful, as always, to pray and eat and talk with so many friends again, and to be a part of the next few steps that our community is taking together. We gathered at the end to swap stories/reflections... most of us felt that God had spoken, encouraged us, inspired us. And most felt that we were growing well together too. To wrap-up this phase of our prayers, we took a deep breath... thank you for your breath, Holy Spirit, for in-spiring us and con-spiring with us... make us contagious as we 'breath out' from tomorrow onwards.'
We then marched through the 'corridor of shoes' (for there were many), and enjoyed a plough-mans' meal together, continuing to share, bless and pray for each other. Thanks to all who brought food, watched over kids in trees and washing up! :)
And thanks for praying!
