so, i went to Vaux last night....

as the title above implies (or explicitly states) i went to Vaux last night. i must say i was passively excited about going, passively 'cause i didn't want to seem like a nerd jumpin up and down. i must say it was quite surreal being there, participating in Vaux after having imagined what it would be like for so long. to give a little history: i have been fascinated with this and, in general, the whole alt.worship/emerging church scene in London since i very first found out that there were people creating worship spaces that allowed people to use their creativity, whatever that may be, to worship our creative/creator God. i have been incredibly interested in this whole scene for over a year and to actually be able to be present at one of their services/events was sooooo amazing..... thank you so much God for allowing me to do this.

anyway, it was really friggin' great and i totally enjoyed it. the main area of the space was bordered by 4 white sheets, serving as make-shift projector screens. on each of the screens they had images, whether words/quotes or this really cool picture of London which slyly looped through the same shot at different times of day. they had typed up a liturgy for the eveing to lead our discussion/reflection, which was read by Kester Brewin, who is a really cool guy. all in all, it was a really inspiring/relaxing/reflective time spent with some really cool people. i will definitely be attending again, too bad its only once a month.



oh...about my trip to Brighton, it was really fun. it was a cool, overcast day, so when we went down to the beach (on the English Channel), the sea/sky line melted into one and you really couldn't tell where the Channel ended and the sky began.... really interesting. we had our chat (spoken of in the previous post) in a really cozy little pub. we discussed the wider questions of why we were there and talked a bit on what we would want to do and how it would look; we will talk more about that in subsequent discussions. it was really encouraging and just a lot of fun.
