Last night, we completed our Alpha course at the Patio restaurant. A brilliant talk from Tom on 'How can I make the most of the rest of my Life?' He was just the man for this, as it's something he's clearly thought deeply about himself. Then it was 'goodbye' till we meet again for a reunion in January.
The whole experience has been good. The group has gelled well. Miranda and Danielle (supported by Mervyn and Vicky) have been excellent hosts, and all the talks have been outstanding. Two members are now considering baptism; and two more confirmation. I think all would say that in some way they have moved on in their journey of faith. We praise God for the work of his Holy Spirit among us. Such a joy to be part of something like this.
And then there's the Patio. This is all of grace. We gave a special thank you to manager Dave last night. The hospitality has been amazing: free main course meal + coffee every week for 3 months. And top quality food, from their main menu. Served with charm and courtesy by staff. I still can't quite believe they have been so generous. Definitely a God thing! Last night, we prayed a blessing upon their business, and hope that their kindness to us will be rewarded.
So - you know where to go for your Christmas meal or your night out! The Patio, 3-5, Church Road, L15 3EA. 0151 733 7474! Excellent food; great service.
