Square Mile Course

We had an encouraging turnout last night for the first evening of the Square Mile course and it was a very good evening
The material was both interesting and challenging which was to be expected given that the main part was a bible study on Isaiah 58 which we did in small groups.This was supplemented by some excellent video clips by teachers like Elaine Storkey,NT Wright and Shane Claiborne.

The first session encouraged some healthy debate and we finished with a good time of prayer.
The subjects raised were pretty relevant to where we are as a church as we seek to serve our local community from our current building and the one we are building in the centre of town

Square Mile Course

We are now preparing a lot of stuff for later in the year.

Among the things we will be doing together as a church is The Square Mile Course here

The publicity says this:

"Would anyone in your community notice if your church ceased to exist?

Square Mile is an Evangelical Alliance initiative which aims to catalyse and equip Christians to take a truly integrated approach to mission, expressed in four dimensions:
Mercy: demonstrating God's compassion to the poor
Influence: being salt and light in the public life of the community
Life Discipleship: equipping Christians for missional living as workers & neighbours
Evangelism: faithful and relevant communication of the gospel"

Anyone else done the course? Any thoughts?
