Last week, our little church here in Alhaurin had a week of prayer and fasting. Every night we gathered in a different home to pray for our town, our neighbours, the young people and families of the church, the outreach initiatives planned for the year ahead... Some people chose to fast a meal now and then, as part of their commitment to prayer, while others fasted something specific - such as coffee, chocolate or meat.
Next weekend, in complete contrast to our week of fasting, we'll be having a special buffet meal together to celebrate the fourth anniversary of the church. Almost every church anniversary has seen us in a new location, as we changed homes in order to meet the growing needs of the congregation. We're thankful that we've now found a new property in the centre of town. We've been able to renovate it to meet our needs and have signed a rental contract for the next five years.
