Hi there Trevor and everyone. I hope that you can all find your way to this area and work out how to use this blog. I have found it very confusing to set up but I hope that we can get used to using it and it will become a blessing and great way to share information and our thoughts in order to glorify the Father.
trying yet again as somewhere in cyberspace are at least two messages! Great BBQ good to see lots of friends. Thanks to Gill and Ian for brill hospitality. See you all soon.X
it wasn’t 6 in the morning my computer clock is wrong and i havn’t the foggiest idea of how to change it. come to think of it I haven’t even seen a clock on my screen.
Hello everyone
Well what a great week I have had so far.
On Saturday we had a wonderful time in the carnival parade shuffling around the village in green cardboard boxes that had been transformed by a team of hard working people into a train. It really was an amazing job well done everyone. In case you dont know, the carnival entry won a well deserved first prize in its class. More importantly it was an absolutely fantastic witness to the whole village. We had about 25 people in our entry from the young to the more mature, a real cross section of our community. The people of our village could see those weird people from the church and actually relate to them. Great job everyone.
Saturday evening I had the first meeting of the Executive committee for the new youth club. The committee was elected and somehow I got “volunteered” for chairman, Ian got secretary and we bullied Rob Kirby into treasurer. We have 3 other members, Trevor Atkinson and Paul and Jackie Gill. Thanks to you all. There was a very positive feeling about this project for our village youth. I really feel that God is behind us in all our efforts in this. We are at the stage of setting up the structure and organisation for the club. We think that we need to get the management right before we open the doors to the kids and even then we will start small, just year 7 to begin. When we are competent and know that we can progress then we will open the club up to more year groups. I will keep you all informed as stuff happens.
Monday morning found me in the Abbey Chapel at 3 in the morning until 6. what a wonderful experience, a real blessing. The time flew by so quickly. It was so good to set time apart for me to get closer to God and spend some quality time in his presence. Can we do this again please. It was such a joy.
Monday evening we were all at Ian and Gills together for the Barbeque. Thanks for having us. It was good to spend time with my church family. (and the food was pretty good too). Sitting with friends on a beautiful warm evening eating good food, drinking a glass of wine, listening to the birds singing and watching the embers on the fire. Isn`t God GREAT. We were all blessed.
Tuesday I took Samantha up to Minehead for an interview at the nursery in Butlins. She got the Job and starts next Tuesday so she will be leaving home for a while so we will miss her loads. But the good news is that she will have a great back garden!!
Sorry that this post is a bit of an epic but loads has happened to share.
Congratulations to Sam! We are so pleased for her and do hope that she will enjoy her new job. We, too, loved the BBQ. Great friends! Great surroundings! Great fellowship!

What a fantastic idea to have a train as a carnival entry. You must be really blessed with engineers able to make such wonderful things!
Great about the youth club, hopefully by the time you get going we will have the cottage wird for wireless broadband and have some laptops up and running.
Just to keep you up with HG3 if you couldn’t make it, this week we looked at 2Chronicles 7:14 “If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves, pray to me and repent and turn away from the evil they have been doing, then I will hear them in heaven, forgive their sins, and make their land prosperous again” [Good News Bible.]
This has come from the prayer 24 hours a day for one week at Abbey Chapel but also came out at BAUC during our night of prayer last year. It was mentioned as an important scripture by Jeff Moles when he spoke on Sunday in the square.
This week we put aside Acts to look at some of the key aspects to be learned from this verse starting with humility. Please see the attached notes if you want to follow what we looked at in detail. We particulary looked at what Jesus did and said concerning humility, by reading the scriptures in Holman’s Bible dictionary notes starting “New Testament”. They show us how important our attitude to ourselves and others is from God’s perspective. Also, as a nation (as came out of the Maranatha weekend) how we should take responsibility for the decisions that have been made, the legislation passed etc that have undermined family values, the sanctity of life, and led to the breakdown of communities, by asking forgiveness for our part, and standing up for Jesus and christian values whenever we have the opportunity. We should not be apathetic! We read Heb 12v1 about pressing on and doing our bit because it is our time to carry the torch of the Good News to our generation.
We also had a prayer session where we all practised praying out loud - I think it was special for most of us to “Amen” so many personal expressions of thanks to God for who He is and what He’s done.
Finally, sorry folks but I’ve messed up how to access the blog - HG3ers say there is good stuff on there and I will get the details sent around soonest so you can have a go as well (although I bet many of you are ahead of me on this one!). WHen I finally get back on I’ll add these notes to it as well.
Bye for now - don’t forget Julie Overnell this Saturday with the launch of the Young Mum’s group - if you can’t make it o support the event like me, please pray.
God’s best blessings to all you lovely people. Trev x
Pentecost service at Bedford Square was fab. Something wonderful about praising and worshiping God outside! Also just so encouraging to see so many people there praising God and knowing we will be back there on Saturday stepping out in faith.
I missed you all Monday but see you soon.X
where is everybody? Couldn’t get on to the blog for days and now I can there’s nobody out there!!!
oh well I’ll write something in the Prayer in the square bit instead.
Nice to hear what you are doing in HG3, but does HG1 (or is it 2?) have to set up a separate blog to say what WE are doing? If not, then we have been studying ‘Self Esteem’. This week it was about handling guilt. We have each been thinking, I’m sure, that no one else in the group has a low self esteem - only ourselves! It appears that all of us suffer with this problem in some way and at some time, but those of us who are ‘old in the tooth’ and have been on the Christian road for a long time have learned to cope with low self esteem perhaps a little better than younger members. We all agree that we don’t NEED to have a low self esteem because God’s love for us - personally - should make us feel better about ourselves! We keep on trying, anyway!
Hi there Helena and HG1 team
I think that the more input the better then everyone gains from everyone elses’ experiences and thoughts. Anyone can join in but if your HG1 team would like a post set up attached to this blog I can do that quite easily. See what they want to do and let me know. It seems a little silly to have separate blogs when we are all serving the same great God. It is all for His glory. I was interested to read what you wrote about self esteem. I think that this holds many of us back from reaching our full potential in the Lord (well me anyway LOL) and it is only by stepping out in faith that we can learn to see ourselves as God sees us through His grace.

This is a revelation to me! I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s BBQ. Great time of fun & fellowship I expect.
