This week it was Deanna’s turn to cook. You can see Bella and Emma testing the potato chowder soup and the rolls hot out of the wood-burning oven outside.
The week the topic was, “What do you think about the idea that God can give us specific guidance in life?” Our group was quieter than during some of the other weeks. It felt like a more mysterious topic than “What do you think about the Bible?”, or “What do you think about prayer?”
The Alpha course is a big hit though. Many of our neighbours now look forward to Friday nights.
