Coffee Shop Sunday #4

Twenty-one people attended our very first Coffee Shop gathering on 1st December. At our fourth session last Sunday 19th January, there were FIFTY-SEVEN in the room - it was amazing! This number includes fourteen Costa customers and three members of staff.

Our talented Music Director, Marcus Patterson, led us in songs:

Light of the World (So Here I am to Worship) by Tim Hughes
Seek ye First the Kingdom of God by Karen Lafferty
Bless the Lord, O my Soul by Jonas Myrin & Matt Redman

Marcus played other background music and sang - he told us that one of the Costa customers asked him if he knew any Tom Jones! (Trevor said "It's not Unusual") 😊

There was an interview with Lynne, who gave an honest account of the challenges she has faced and has at times, felt that God is far away. Lynne said that she feels, however, that when we need Him most, that is when God is carrying us.

We prayed for the fantastic staff of Costa Coffee who we see very much as a part of our new church. Short prayers were written on a piece of paper by members. All those prayers were blessed and then handed over - in three paper Costa Coffee cups - to the staff for them to see how much they are valued by us and loved by Jesus.
Next gathering: Sunday 2nd February

A busy Coffee Shop Sunday!
