This morning at St John's Seven Kings, our young people did a sponsored car wash during the main morning service to raise funds for the Agape Youth work which we support in the Democratic Republic of Congo. They washed 11 cars in under an hour and raised £120.00.
This evening we joined with All Saints Goodmayes for a Confirmation Service at which 14 were confirmed, including three candidates from St John's. The Bishop of Barking spoke about the candidates having made Jesus the foundation for their lives and then discussed the kinds of materials we should use in building on that foundation. He gave a real-time demonstration of the flammability of straw and then asked the grandfather of one of our candidates to demonstrate bricklaying. He concluded that we need to be built together as a community of God's people all standing firm in our faith as we build on the foundation of Christ.
