July 22 Devotion - What is it ?Hellloooooo OMG'ers
Welcome to your latest blog entry. This week we feasted on "N" food, and we had a couple of GUILTY bods this week, so, Ije and Martine, Stand up and take a bow
 OK, so, we kicked off our session with Jo leading us in singing Praise to our Lord, and then went into our discussion led by becky. This week we discussed what devotion was, why it is important, and things that we can do as part of this. The general concensus was that Devotion is a time that we spend with God, where we can totally surrender ourselves to Him, and enjoy His prescence. A time where we can enjoy and improve our own personal relationship with our Father. We agreed that this was immensely important as God desires a close relationship with us, and by us taking the time to come before Him, we are bringing him joy. Also, by having a close relationship with Him we are easier able to determine His direction for us, and so have more fulfilled lives. We all had different things that we done during this time, but the most common things were listening to Worship music, reading the Bible, and reading Christian books. All of these are good methods, but we do want to encourage you all to find your own way here and really relish this time. So, we will finish this subject at our next session, so make sure that you are there so you don't miss out. Ok, for our next OMG, we have a Texan theme, so please bring along any Texan food, and why not dress the part as well. Come on OMG'ers, you know you want to.Well, that wraps this edition up, so until we see you again, why not work on improving your relationship with our loving God, and reap the benefits of this.
God Bless
The OMG Production Team July 16 Bible Methodology - Part IIWelcome Back OMG'ers
Well, it seems the guilty game is working OMG'ers,and everyone made a real effort to bring M food,but there is always one, so Aaron, Marks and Spencers dont count ;-). So we kicked off the night with Becky leading us in Praise and Worship with some new songs, and then we were lead (sort of) by Mick, where we talked about a couple of aids to help us in understanding The Bible. The first one we looked at was the Vines Complete Dictionary. This is a dictionary of all of the Hebrew and Greek words, that is absolutley essential in understanding the different meaning of words in their original language as the meaning can sometimes be lost in translation. We also looked at using Study Bibles, and how these help by giving us background to each chapter, and a commentary on the verses in easy to grasp chunks. We had a great deal of dicussion on the usefullness of these, and agreed that these are very usefull, as long as they are combined with good Christian teaching, and of course your own Bible trained conscience. Well OMG'ers, thats the end of this weeks entry. All thats left to say is a great big OMG thanks to everyone that made it, and we really hope to see you all again soon. Oh, and dont forget to keep an eye on the online planner.
So until we see you again, May Gods love warm your heart and guide your path.

The OMG Production Team June 29 Daniel - The ConclusionGreetings and salutations OMG'ers
This week, we kicked off with the guilty game. check out the piccies to see who fell foul this week, mwah ha ha. So, this week we kicked off with singing Praise and Worship to our Lord with Mick and Jo, and then we went into our discussion of the final(sniff) chapter of Daniel, led by Jo. Jo helped us analyze this chapter by splitting it into Promise, warning, and responsibilty headings. So we went verse by verse and then discusssed where these should fall. A really good debate was had over these, and we all had ideas for good reasons, based on how we interpreted what we had read. We definetely had a lot of fun throughout the night, and we really hope that our visitors Kirstie and Antwi, and of course our official OMG part timers David and Cheryl, enjoyed themselves as much as we did, and that we will see you all again soon. Next week we start our new series, based on how to undertand the Bible, and we can see from our discussion this week that we all have varying ways to do this, so lets all really make an effort to attend this and really dig deep into this topic. So, that's the end of this edition. Please leave a comment and let us know your thoughts about OMG,we always welcome feedback.
So, until we see you again, Trust in Gods promise for You.
God Bless
The OMG Production Team  June 21 Daniel - We've almost finished :-(Helllloooooooooo all you OMG'ers out there
Welcome to the latest installment of your blog. This week saw the introduction of a new part of our OMG schedule. The name and shame game. Basically, whoever brings something that does not fit our weekly theme (which was "J" this week), is found guilty, and is named and shamed here. So, this week, we are naming and shaming Rob, Chris, and Gem. Lets see how any people are found guilty next week.
So, this week we kicked off our night with some Praise and Worship led by Chris and Jo, and then we went into our discussion based on Daniel 10, and v1-19 of chapter 11. This week we saw that spiritual warfare is real and that the enemy has great power, but that God has far more, and how important that it is for us to play our part in bringing Victory for Gods Kingdom through Prayer and Fasting. This also highlighted why we do not always receive answers when we want to, and helped us to appreciate the bigger picture in the world that we inhabit. In chapter 11 we found out the details of 2 of the visions that Daniel interpreted, and saw how all of this has proven to have happened, so this is a clear gift from our God to show that He has fulfilled his promises of the past, so we can have steadfast assurance that He will fulfill His promises that relate to our future. Praise God for such powerful testimony of His Greatness OMG'ers. He is soooooo worthy.
We would also like to extend a great big OMG welcome out to Aaron, who will be joing us for this quarter. Lets all join in and make sure that he gets a real vision of the OMG experience
So, that wraps this weeks edition up. We really look forward to seeing more of you next week, and until then, have a blessed week, and keep God as the central focus of your life.
God Bless
