A visit to Romford

Last Wednesday a group of friends from Colchester Boiler Room Community made a pilgrimage down the A12 to visit friends in a Romford prayer community.



And what a welcome we received! Emma, Phil, Helen and Ian really opened their home to us. We received more pizza than we could eat (quite something considering the boys present!). James and I enjoyed a kickaround in the garden. We enjoyed the space to hang out together.



After food, we came together to introduce each other and each share a story. We were particularly encouraged to hear from friends who have just recently encountered God, and started their walk with Him.



We also shared about our experiences of community.

We heard that our friends in Romford, having been in the shared house for 9 months, now feel challenged to follow Jesus out of their comfort zones. Also, that it is the small things (like the cleaning!) that often present the challenges to living in community.
