Our Sunday talk this week consisted of a Q&A with the Pastors, Dave & Laura Smith. Billed as a Pastors 360, anyone who attended got the chance to ask a question via anonymous txt.

These were the questions asked. The responses are on the podcast

What’s the screaming about when its ministry time?

How much do you talk about God at home to your children...and do you talk about God when using discipline?

What’s the biggest struggle in developing the church?

If you had more finances how much more could you do? And what would you do?

Since becoming Area Leaders – are you spending enough time being pastors of RV?

Its called a Pastors 360 but who is giving you feedback and advice from your peer group and your leadership. How do they know how you’re teaching and leading?

How do you keep going if you have a desert time? Or don’t you have those times?

Would you run a teenager / parenting course. Am struggling with them.

How do you overcome the easy comfort zone that a white, middle class, first world congregation often exist within?

Senior Pastor Dave Smith continued our current series of talks on "What It Means to Be A Christian" with a look at Acts 7, where Stephen gives his life in the defence of his faith in Jesus. Dave also launched the Amnesty Bin - an opportunity to put any aspect of your life to rest in order to pursue God's plan for your life. People were given the opportunity to do this, and to receive prayer during the ministry time at the close of the service.

Got any old unhealthy books or mags, any bad thoughts or deeds you can write down and then throw away?

Or maybe something traumatic has happened in your life that you want to move on from?

You can get rid of the power these things have over you by putting them in the amnesty bin (a bit like Room 101)

No one will look in the bin or have access to it afterwards and the contents will be destroyed and out of your life...forever!
