Car boot

Today saw the return of the car boot to Wainscott and my chance to be there for the whole morning (6-12.30!) As usual sleep was pretty non existent last night wondering if I would wake up in time, neighbours house alarms going off and waking Daniel and general unrest. However at the carboot I felt pretty awake and raring to go.

Today seemed a little quieter than usual, the eager beavers were there even before we got out of the car asking what we were selling but we only really had 2 conversations before 7am and it was probably more like 8ish until more people came to chat.

There were as always a few highlights today, one was a man living in Upnor a fellow Christian who had read my article in the Peninsula Times and so had come along to explore what we do and also to encourage us in our ministry which was really lovely.
We also experienced interesting conversations with those of other faiths mainly Hindu's and a Muslim man and were asked to pray for several people who had been diagnosed with cancer.

However noticeably today we did have some synics and a heck of a lot of people wanting PALM readings and feeling a bit dismayed to discover they were PSalm readings instead. It made me realise just how many people are desperately searching and longing to know what the future holds for them. People feel the need to know what is a round the corner.

During the quiet times we explored what other experiences, interactive things we could provide for people to explore spirituality...so watch this space the next 4 weeks will be a time to experiment and see what else works.
