One of the BUS 'values' which means that ministers are expected to meet together for support and encouragement, something that has been sadly lacking in Glasgow over the last few years, since the person who had worked tirelessly to promote it finally gave up.

I was asked by the BUS to try to start something up again, and yesterday five of us met in a pub to drink coffee, chat over what we wanted from such a group, share stories and pray together.  I was a really good gathering, and I felt encouraged.

Funny how it goes... years ago had someone told me I'd be part of a prayer meeting in a pub I'd have said, "I don't think so"... the Dibley Lunch Club empowered me to pray in restaurants, and now I have led in prayer in a pub.  Made me smile anyway.

A good beginning, now we have to make it happen long term.
