11:00     Talking with Fiona, trying to sort out who owes what for Bibles and teaching materials.  Talking with Andy about what we say to City Elim about the meal vouchers.   Agree to attend the Inner City Lifelong Learning Network meeting on Andy’s behalf – promised to go to an earlier one, but something came up which prevented it.   A bit of paperwork.

Tuesday 26

09:00     Meeting with Dave Mitchell at Ashley Down House.   It’s about 10 months since our previous chat; started trying to arrange this back in November.   Talk about how Woodlands can support CCM more effectively.   I need to email him a proposal for talking to the Woodlands Pastorates.

10:15     Post.  Dehumidifier arrives: skim the documentation.   Take it downstairs to the basement.

10:30     Coffee Shop prayer.

11:00     Dehumidifier paperwork sorted and in post tray.  Leave phone message for Angie Allen about praying for us at City Elim.   Phone GroceryAid again: Angie is still off sick, everyone else is engaged.  Leave a message for someone to ring me back.  Talk with Sam about Bridgehead and filling out expense claim forms.   Talk with a lady from GroceryAid who will get Angie to email me when she returns on Thursday.

10:30     Coffee Shop prayer.

11:00     Working on Bridgehead survey to be used in Coffee Shop.

12:30     Meeting at ivy Church about prayer in St Pauls.   Half of City Road is cordoned off with three or four fire engines, although there is no obvious fire.   Several firemen are up a ladder, although they don’t seem to be doing anything.   The meeting itself is encouraging.   From the conversations afterwards, Peter Kay will email me with details of a property we might be interested in.   Another chap is interested in finding out more about the work we do.

15:00     Return to office.   Send a few of the most urgent emails.   Start on the backlog of paperwork.   Commotion outside: there are armed Police just down the road, surrounding a house on the opposite side.   We pray that the situation is resolved peacefully, and contact some prayer partners, asking them to join us in this prayer.   City Road is cordoned off for the second time today, and at 16:00 we decide not to open the shop tonight.

16:00     Supervision session with Andy.   Several people have dropped out of the LITE Course, but it’s not clear what we can do with or for most of them: one has gone into hiding after being attacked in his flat with a shotgun, for example.   Make several suggestions for how Andy can make more progress with his report

18:10     Finish supervision, back to actions from team meeting.   The Police have gone.   We didn’t hear any sirens, so we hope nobody was hurt.
