Everyday Encounter

Encounter Streetreach :: An Encounterers Perspective

On Friday 23rd May the Encounterers met at SBC at 6.30pm to begin two weeks of StreetReach. We had already been split up into 4 groups of 8 Encounterers with 3 leaders for the prayer walk, so we got into our groups again. Two of the groups went around the church community delivering flyers for the Family Fun Day and the other 2 groups did StreetReach in the church community. The group I was in headed off down the Belmont Road picking up any rubbish we saw and then headed to the Tesco’s car park. We were shocked to find 3 dead birds on our travels but that didn’t put us off! We began doing our best to make the place look tidy but with only having 2 brushes and 2 shovels it was pretty hard going! When it came to 9.00pm we headed back to the church but we now had so much rubbish we had to take it back in a car!

All the groups met up in the church at 9.00pm for some tuck, tea and coffee (not forgetting the brownies) before having a time of praise. Sam, Phil and the band led us in some songs, while allowing people to go up and share things that God had put on their heart.

It was a good night, which was enjoyed by all.
