Flourish


Hey,



Late again, On the first Sunday of July we had Café plus which is the service where we arrive earlier and have breakfast together, and that is what this post will be about.



John 21:2-8




“Simon Peter, Thomas, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. ‘I’m going out to fish,’ Simon Peter told them, and they said, ‘We’ll go with you.’ So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realise that it was Jesus. He called out to them, ‘Friends, haven’t you any fish?’ ‘No,’ they answered. He said, ‘Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.’ When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, ‘it is the Lord!’ As soon as Simon Peter heard him say this he wrapped his outer garment round him and jumped into the water. The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore.”




Flourish



This is a charity about bringing those with low self-esteem, focusing on girls, to the grace a God and see that they are made in God’s image.



Isaiah 61:3








“To bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendour.”







The person from flourish who spoke, shared a poem ‘Come and find me’ by Meg Cannon which she adapted to show how the children that this charity deals with feel.



Feedback from one of the children this charity helped said, “I feel stronger now.”
