King's

Well, thought I'd better post about church yesterday ;)

My friend Bek and I went to a new church on recommendation from my next-door-neighbour. It's a Ministries Without Borders church, of which I know nothing about - anyone that does, please feel free to comment!

We arrived 15mins late - by accident, and didn't quite know where to go as it's in a community hall. We were welcomed by a lady with a baby (who we later found out is the wife of the head elder) and then a young lad immediately grabbed us chairs without anyone asking. At this point, members of the church we taking it in turns at the front to share stuff with us - like the sharing time at Fridays, so that was pretty cool.

Next was some worship. Not brilliantly polished, but it felt real, sang some good songs - one made me cry cuz it reminded me of last year and it's an incredibly moving song anyway. There was some praying - the congregation joined in, there was space for people to pray and speak in tongues all together, there was a spontaneous song started which was cool.

The guy who spoke was really good to listen to. He interacted really well with the congregation, it wasn't just sitting there listening to him. He talked about the early church in Acts 2 and how we should follow it's example. Become Christians, be baptised, and receive the Holy Spirit. How we should have community together, be always praising the Lord, listening to teaching, share everything and do miracles. It was good stuff and interesting. Would like to learn more tho on their views of the Holy Spirit. He was suggesting you couldn't have him without being baptised - now I haven't be baptised but I sure have the Holy Spirit!

We finished with communion and a song - concerned on health and safety sharing the cup without washing it, holding the bread in our hands.... but hey!

People came and spoke to us afterwards without us even moving! Although the first girl isn't there really, used to be, has moved away, but keeps coming back! People were friendly and genuinely interested. They have cell groups, they're looking forward and looking to do more things in the community.

So, we shall go again next week and see what happens.
