Once they found out about my car, they all were very interested. At least one of the guys there was a big car fan, so it gave us something we could both relate to. I think it's important to show that the church doesn't stay locked up in an ivory tower, but we genuinely care to help people or just enjoy their company. We are called to be "in the world, but not of the world". How can we be in it, if we spend all our time trying to avoid anyone not from the church?
It was a little slow, so I was told, but it gave me a good chance to meet a few people and learn a little more about another ministry of the church.
Before that, I had a chance to help with the High 5 (Gurnos kids club). It was really just a game night, as we are transitioning from one material to a new one we will start next week. This next one will be about the world God has created. Exploring various things like space, plants, animals, etc.
Afterward, Geraint and I battled it out on the air hockey table as Jon watched. I won't say I won, (even though it's true) because that could be considered bragging. But the margine of victory was so large that it's not really bragging. haha.
Then today I helped with the food bank collection. A local supermarket donated many boxes of food, so we collected it, weighed it, then sorted it.
It took us about 3 hours and it was well worth it. Our food pantry is stocked well for the distributions later this week.
Then this evening I went with some friends to see the new Marvel Avengers movie! It came out here before showing in America, it was a great film. Plus I got a chance to visit a British cinema! So it was a new and exciting experience in two different ways.
I'm now going to 'fly' off to sleep, and hopefully not sleep through my alarm in the morning!
