Water of Life

Oxygen #7 is tonight. It's a cool service looking at what really makes us satisfied in life.

Indeed, the water I give will become a spring of water welling up to eternal life.

I am pleased to say that our Oxygen team has doubled in size. We've now got eight people involved in putting the services together, which means we can split into two teams. This will result in less of a workload for people and more time to shape services.

We recently did a survey of Oxygenites as well as those at MBC who haven't been to Oxygen. One reasonably common theme was the desire of some people to incorporate more discussion and sharing time into the service. This is an interesting idea, and one that we have talked about before. We are keen to introduce this over the next few months.

However, does it take away from what Oxygen is? Oxygen is a time of reflection, an attempt to create a personal space for people to connect with God. Does corporate sharing encroach on that?

It's something we'll have to think hard about as we look to introduce some sharing elements into some of the services.
