Yesterday (Friday) we launched "Fresh Friday Munch", a new monthly community lunch. I wasn't expecting huge numbers initially, but in the end we had 35 people in attendance!! Virginia had done some great work spreading the news with other agencies, and was a bit like the pied piper! We ate some yummy rissoles, with fresh bread rolls and fruit - all from local businesses in town. We set up the table tennis and pool tables, which were used by several people. Down the track we might show movies in the afternoon. The area outside the back of the hall was used, which was perfect! The weather was great too.
I can't upload any pictures because we don't have permission from those in attendance - sorry :( You will just have to come along next month to see for yourself!
Tomorrow we "launch" the mission intentions - and we've created 4 very large banners - 1 for each intention - which now brighten up the main hall. We will be looking at Jesus' parable of new wine in old wineskins:
No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved. Matt 9:16-18Should be fun! All are welcome - especially if you live in Healesville!
