It
is always interesting to be outdoors and chatting with the public in general.
There are so many different people with a vast range of opinions who are
trying to live in our complicated and aggressive world. We chose to wear
our pink T-shirts which prompted people coming to our stall to say, "Well,
who are you and what do you do". What an opportunity for us.
Some of us are known in the town but it is good to tell others what we
do in Sudbury and encourage women to join us at our monthly outreach or
for a coffee at No. 72 North Street. We pray this morning will bear some
fruit.
ABOUT
NO. 72 NORTH STREET Every other Tuesday between 10am and 12 noon we are to be found at No.72 North
Street. We are very blessed to be able to use this venue which is a coffee
shop and a Family Network Centre run by a Christian couple. Tuesday is
their day off. Here we have opportunities to invite in people who are
passing by for a free cup of tea or coffee and, hopefully, a chat. This
is not without its difficulties because our shop is only two doors away
from a Weatherspoons pub which appears to hold a magnetic attraction which
seems impossible for people to resist! No. 72 outreach began several years ago when Corinne was President of Sudbury. Before we open the doors we pray and ask that God would draw the right people to us. We have some regulars who come; and it is such a joy when we are asked why we do what we do, which gives us the opportunity to speak about Aglow and our faith. Some mornings we go home disappointed if we have not had many people come in, but then another day we are thrilled when the place has been buzzing. God is good all the time so the song goes! We are encouraged!
