“Cut that pizza into six slices instead of eight, I ain’t that hungry.” – Yogi Berra

Well, the men ate plenty of this popular Italian dish!
The main course was to hear not eat – Face to Face with Steve Buckeridge who is a Chaplin at London’s Heathrow Airport.
Great to hear Steve share about life at Heathrow Airport and also shares about his Christian faith.

Same building, same presenters, different kids. Biggest number this year – lol. Lots of energy and noise and a rather sweaty smell as the young people enthusiastically played game after game. Thankyou to the regular team of helpers who ran the games and support this activity. Thanks also to Abi & Naomi for their input in the ‘World Focus’ spot, sharing about their mission trips to with CMI AID in Moldova.

• Purpose – ‘BodyBuilders’ exists to communicate the gospel to non-Christians and to ‘build up’ Christians in their faith by teaching them basic Christian truths.

• Networking – ‘BodyBuilders’ seeks to encourage young people
from a variety of Churches to mix together and to develop
friendships between churches and individuals.

• Encouraging – ‘BodyBuilders’ teaches young people to think beyond their own local situation, to show them God at work in and around the world and to engage them in supporting these individual missionaries and mission projects.

Great to have Abi & Naomi Watts with us tonight and tommorrow. This evening they shared a story at ‘Kids Klub’ and their testimonies at ‘Youth Club’. Tomorrow they are doing the ‘World Focus’ spot at ‘BodyBuilders’ Youth Event, sharing about the time at CMIAID in Moldova.

What: with Penny for two Assemblies.
Where: Sarisbury Green Junior School. Southampton.
Theme: New Year! New Beginnings!

A quieter day at the Corner in contrast to the last few weeks. Winter Wonderland is over and the 100′;s of people who passed through SC on route to WW are no longer around.
Not a great day for productive conversations, a few arguments and a few surface level chats but that’s about it!
The highlight was a short interview with an Instagram/Tick Tock channel, a chance to explain why I was there and to share a little of the gospel with anyone online who might stumble across it.
