Open Gym in Full Swing


On January 4 we began a new year of Open Gym.  We meet at 6:30 pm at Talbot Community Church's gymnasium.  We have basketball for the men folk, activities for children, and mostly visiting for the ladies.  We also have English classes when there are people who are interested.

At about 8:00 pm we have a break for some refreshments and a short devotion.  This year I began sharing short Bible stories with a twist.  After sharing the story in Spanish and English I ask everyone to help me rebuild the story (retell the story with everyone's help).  Then I ask two questions:
·       What does this story teach us about God?  
·        What does this story teach us about people?

Everyone participates in rebuilding the story and answering the questions.  Right from the beginning of the year members of our church noticed that everyone was paying better attention to the story.  This is GOOD! 

Please pray for our Open Gym ministry and for everyone who comes, that God would reveal himself to them in a very real way.
