THE GREAT COMMISSION
"All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on
earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to
observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo,
I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
Amen. (Matthew 28:18-20)

Carrickfergus Ladies Football Tournament 18/7/2010
The Servant Evangelism team which consisted of Dennis, Johnnie, Colin and I made the small trip to Taylor’s Avenue for the 2nd year in a row armed with Litter pickers, brushes and shovels. After watching a small part of the final which was won again by Keynsham Ladies FC, we began to tidy the place up.
Just as we started an official from Carrick Borough Council (who organised the tournament) came up to us and recognised me and Dennis from last year (which showed our work in the name of the Lord didn’t go un-noticed).
There were plenty of empty tins, bottles and rubbish for us to collect and when we had finished an hour later I think we were all about a stone lighter, such was the heat.
What we did notice was that the seats in the stand could have been doing with a major clean before the tournament, so it has given us an opportunity for serving next year. On the way out from the ground I noticed two paintings as per the attached photos, “Share a Passion, share a dream” and “Share a Community share a Future”.
This struck a chord with me, firstly as we have “Church in the Community” on the back of our Hi-Vis vests and secondly as we in the SE team have a Passion for Christ to get out and serve our community and in doing so, hope that seeds of God’s love will be planted in their hearts.
