A Super Special Sacred Space

Although our numbers for Sacred Space have been dwindling, it ALWAYS feeds my spirit and my soul to spend time with Adenike and Emeka 💖💖

Yesterday was extra special, because I didn't have to do ANYTHING 😀  No cooking, no preparation. All was organised for me and I was blessed with flowers and food.

Our activities were challenging, but fun ...

Firstly, we each had an object, found within the room, and had to preach a message for minimum one minute.  However, we didn't get to choose our object, another person did that, and we didn't get any thinking time!!  Our objects were: a remote control, an empty bowl, scrabble game, a vase of flowers, a wooden cross (thanks Emeka, you're so kind!) and a tape measure.

We talked about what character we might be in Scripture, and who we might aspire to be. Not as easy as it sounds.

We played Christian Charades, also a challenge, we could act and/or use a maximum of three words.  Hmmmm, we had things like the walls of Jericho, or Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego 😲

Last, but by no means least, I was sent on a treasure hunt around my house (what a sneaky pair they are).  I had to follow the clues, and at each point there was a scrumptious treat.

The very last clue had me stumped ... the place where you can rock-a-bye-baby?  My immediate thoughts went to sleep, so upstairs I went, but no.  Finally, I realised it was the rocking chair I'd been sitting on all afternoon 😃😄😃😄  And there I found a beautiful gift ...

Sacred Space has only been running for two years and only has two more months to go; however, it has been the most marvellous highlight of my time as Campus Chaplain. On so many occasions we have laughed together, we've cried together, and we have learned so much from each other and been drawn deeper in our faith in Jesus. THANK YOU to all those who have been part of the beautiful community 💗💗💗
