I had no idea that Revelation Church was so old. Roger and all the old skool originals don't seem very old to me, so they must have been really young when the seeds of our community were planted here in Chichester. All last weekend we celebrated the life of the church is many different ways: we worshipped, we prayed, we heard from God and each other, we looked at our vision, our commitment and the challenges we face together. We feasted, we partied and we all dressed in 80s-tastic outfits. (Hence my *cough* interesting look above. The DeLoreans led the party and it was amazing to see so many old faces in the same room.
So much life has sprung from this community. It amazes me when I think about it... there's Life Centre, Big Love, Fusion, Children on the Edge, Cred, Pacso, 24-7 Prayer and so much more all centred on loving God and people. Surely that's a disproportionate amount of activity for such a relatively small and undeniably scruffy bunch of people. It's amazing what God can grow from a tiny mustard seed. Wonder what the next 25 years will hold.
