FISH is a fellowship group that has been in the planing for a while now but today became a reality. after some frined of mine went to a scripture union camp entitled traning week they along with students from other schools in the genral area decided that we needed an interschool fellowship and suport with in the christian comunities. today we had our first meeting held in my schools new chaple... we had people from 3 other schools come, one other christian school and 2 state schools. which was really awsome. we started the afternoon with an afternoon tea in the chaples cafe and then had a worship service. and for the first time since that chaple has been in use ( about 10 weeks) that it was actually eing used for its proper purpose, like yeah we are a christian (lutheran) school and we have weekly year level chaples i still in all of them had never felt like it was propper, mainly because considering we are a christian school there is alot of people who arnt actually christians in the school, and specially in my grade we are a major minority. so it was great just to have that atmosphere of knowing that everyone that was in there actually cares about what we were doing and realy wanted to be there, and wasnt just there because it was somthing that our school routine made us. we then split into small groups of people from our own school and talked about what kinda things we can do in our school to spread the gosple and to really make a diffrence and what we thought were some of the problems that were holdign us back with in the comunities, some of the things that were brought up were - that we are a minority group inmost schools - that especially in the "christian" schools we dont actually know who the other chrisitans are - that the people we try and talk to about our faith are so set in their view and opions and dont listen there was alot more than that but unfortunatly i cant think of them at the moment these types of meetings are going to be held monthly to try and help each other out, especially our brothers and sisters in non christian schools that dont have the chance to speak as freely as we do and we would all apericate your prayers in order for us to make what we are doing a sucess, in making a diffirance in our school and i prase god for the courage he has given to the 3 main people that i know have put alot of time and effort into this project. if anyone has ideas as to what we can do to help make a diffrence and keep each other going it would be greatly appreciated

" if you can use anything wont you use me, take me and break me and mold me and make me, you died for me so im living for you, im living for you, im living for you" from a planetshakers song, redemer by mike Gugliemucci and from a book titled eli, i cant remember who it is written by but i love the first 2 sentences so from memory " monday was an incovient day to die, come to think of it tuesday through sunday wernt all that convient either."

um another topic i have been thinking about alot recently, i had nevere really thought about this much at all until about a year and a half ago when while at a youth confrence i for the first time saw someone experiance the gift of speaking in tounges, and even after seeing that i was still very sceptical about it, i thought that some people were just speaking in jibberish to get attention, since then i have witnessed several other speaking in tounges and noticed how it affects them and have accepted that is it a git of the holy spirit about a month ago i was talking to one of my teachers, who is a very devoted christian and this shows through everything she does, about talking in tounges and she just confused me even more, she was telling me that it is something that you need to learn to do... that goes against everything i had though about speaking on tounges but as i know and have heard her speaking in tounges on serval occasions she is propbebly a good information source on this. i would appreciate your views, is it just simply a gift or is it something you need to learn how to do ?

as many other people have already said here they are still people and we are as sinful as they are and we need to remember that, and if we dont talk to them and try and share the word of God with them, who will? and if no one does then what hope do they have in the long run? i personal have nothing agaisnt gays they are often the kindest and most caring people around one of my really good friends is a gay and is not ashamed to admit it at all and for that he has my upmost respect they are given way to much greif for a simple sin its past time that we stoped treating them like un touchables and started treating them with the love and care that they deserve
