“Thanks for a brilliant night tonight! Enjoyed every minute! Very funny man”. That was the reaction last night to a great night of comedy. The new season of ‘The Net’ events (outreach to men) started with a full house (thirty-five men) as we squeezed into the function room of the Queens Head Pub in Titchfield, this small intimate venue was perfect as we chuckled away to the stories and anecdotes of comedian Andy Kind.

The show was in two parts. Part one was a regular comedy routine. Part two was Andy talking about his life and faith and sharing something of the good news of Jesus! Lots of literature taken and lots of good conversations had at the end of the evening and I would imagine on the way home.

Matt comments on Facebok:
“Well that was a bizarre and amazing day. What I’m feeling right now is very very surreal but happy. Thank you to everyone who came to support me from outside the church today today and thank you to my new family at Duncan Road Church. Looking forward to starting a brand new life with Jesus Christ. Massive thank you to everyone :)”

FirstServe is a gap year programme designed to give young adults (18-25) a taste of service in the UK and overseas. Not only will they have the chance to help, support and encourage others but ‘FirstServe’ (www.first-serve.org.uk ) also includes a discipleship and missions training programme.
Gordon is part of the steering group and believes that it is a valuable investment of his time.

Please pray for 4 young people who started their FirstServe Gap Year last week. They are currently at the GLO Centre for 2 weeks, then they will move on to their UK church placement. Please pray that this year will be a time for them to draw closer to God and that wherever they are on placement, both in the UK and overseas, God will use them for His glory.
