Very excited. First time we meet is today. Assembly advertising plus fliers have done the stuff and I have filled all my 12 places. Got all the equipment. Kids all VERY excited so their parents tell me. Ready to go...
However, also having last minute doubts about this will ever be anything like a fresh expression in the proper sense. But that's good, isn't it, because that way something contextual may emerge rather than imposition of something without consultation.
The good news is that this way, the church can offer something to people in the community beyond it's current membership. I'd rather help with that than do something vaguely trendy for people who are already Christians but fed up with church. There are groups round here for that already so it's nice to feel I'm not replicating something already being done.
I have a growing sense that it is important to keep my current project "neutral space" to get to know people. It's good loving service and community engagement.
Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself. I still need to work out how to get all my bits and pieces round to the church without a car as Paul's run off with it on a work thing...

I know you're limiting your group because of them being kids, etc., but it's only just struck me that having a limit on something is rather a good idea; maybe it makes for better/deeper relationships? So small is beautiful then ....!
