Small Group

This past Thursday my small group met for the 2nd time. the week before we met at Anna-Maria's apt and had a great time enjoying fika and just getting to know one another. This week however Anna-Maria had to work, so she couldn't make it, but Johan, Iris and Abby came over to my place and we cooked Köttbullar (pronounced "schut-boola" = meatballs) together using a recipe that I was given and then translated, did you know that you can upload complete documents into "Google translate"! I didn't, until last Thursday :) it was fun, we had a good time and we able to spend some time going a little deeper as well. God is so good and it is great to see His hands moving and mixing things together, oh, i forgot to mention that there were also 4 countries represented last Thursday, Sweden, the UK, Germany and me. And now that i'm on the subject of multiple countries....
Last Sunday night, Nov 9th, we had a more contemplative service, a time of song and prayer. We sat on couch cushions on the main stage and were very relaxed. It was great to hear the sound of 20 or so voices echoing throughout the entire sanctuary, simply beautiful and kinda gave me the chills. At the end of each service we spend time in prayer. With the piano, we sing short prayer, then whoever wants can say a prayer, then we sing, then someone prays, then we sing, then someone prays, etc... do you get it? well, if you don't, i'm sorry, because it actually quite powerful. During this prayer, i still had my chills from earlier, but then those chills got chills because after a few "rounds" we had heard prayers in Swedish, English, German, and Chinese. It was so touching to hear prayers in so many languages, just plain cool!

Yep, anyways, things are still moving along and The Well is starting to get a good solid 'core' of folks that are here are a weekly basis. It's almost like we have a 5 week old child that is starting to walk.... or something like that.

keep praying!
