A couple of weekends ago, our container full of BBQ gear for Fridays was broken into and set alight. It was a bit of a shock, but none of us were really freaked out about it or worried that Friday BBQs might not happen anymore just because our gear was torched.
It's sad that someone would go to so much trouble in order to keep us from gathering in Croydon, but I feel that the quality of our relationships and what God is doing amongst us is so much stronger than the destruction of one angry person.
Some of the guys in our group simply said, "It won't stop us."
Last week we cleaned out the container together and worked on the lawns and gardens to keep the property maintained.
Amazingly and beautifully, supportive people in our community have rallied around us with support and encouragement. We've had people donate BBQs, chairs, and funds, and we're well on our way to continuing our BBQ-ing in Croydon!
The burnt out container.
Some charred remains: pages of a Bible; an onion; an urn (back); a mug with some melted plastic on it; and a 4L tomato sauce bottle.
Emma.
