Hi everyone!
This Tuesday, November 6th, FoF had a Social Event! We gathered up on the corner of Królowej Jadiwgi St and Droga Dębińska St to walk together to the ice skating rink "Chwiałka". We had a blast! The place was huge and thanks to that we didn't feel it was crowded. At first we all had difficulties with skating, as most of us hadn't done that for 5-7 years, but after 15min we were as happy as a clam swinging from one side of the rink to another.
We will definitely go ice skating once again this winter! :)

the 4W's!
Hello to all!
On October 30th FoF met up for the 4W's.
After drinking a cup of latte and eating a bowl of broccoli soup, we began our meeting with the Welcome part. Each of us drew three M&M's and, depending on the colors, said a few words about him-/herself. The topics were e.g. Friends&Family, School, Animals, and so we all got to know one another better.
Next, we moved on to the Worship, which, this time differed from our usual routine. Andrew's idea was to walk around the Cafe, find something that was for us beautiful and then take a picture of it. That was a great way to discover the beauty coming from God -- by focusing on things we don't usually notice.
Having finished talking about pictures we took, we went on to the Word. Karoline shed a light on Romans 5:3-5 and the group had a deep and inspiring discussion about hope, endurance and character. By sharing our thoughts and experiences, we all grew more in love for God.
At the end of our meeting, Magdalena led the Witness. She told us an amazing story about her sister's achievement -- the hardships she had faced and the final result of her work. The courage and the strength Magdalena's sister needed, came down from Above. Her story was a wonderful encouragement for all. God's generosity and love are endless.
We all agreed that this meeting was a very special one.
Looking forward to seeing you next week! :)

ALIVE: "Courage"
In this week's sharing, we had the privilege of having Richard, Brooke, and baby Max Nungessers with us. Richard and Brooke shared from Mark 2, where Jesus called Levi to follow him. We see Jesus having the courage to reach out to a man despised by others. Jesus wasn't afraid of how others would perceive Him, He knew what was right.
How often do we talk ourselves out of doing something courageous? It could be standing up for a rightful cause, could be defending the weak, or simply approaching a person to get to know him or her. We are filled with daily opportunities to be like Christ, but often times we waste it because of lack of courage.
If Jesus was preoccupied with how others may think of Him, He would've never approached Levi, and Levi would've never followed Jesus, and Levi would've never written the gospel of Matthew. Imagine what may be lost in the greater scheme of things simply because we were too preoccupied with our fears of self-doubt or how others may perceive us.
Choose today to live courageous. It doesn't take much. Jesus did it with "Follow me." The Levis of city today are waiting for us.
FoF meets every Tuesday night 7:00-8:30 pm at Sweet Surrender Cafe (Ul. Krasinskiego 1/1 Poznan).

Our first guest speaker!
Hi y'all!
Last week, October 16th we met up at Sweet Surrender Cafe and had our second meeting this academic year. We started off with a game to get to know each other better. Next, we had a great worship by the candlelight and then moved on to the main point of our meeting.
Our guest speaker was Andrew Ngaditono, who started the "ALIVE: God, self, community" series. The whole group had a lively conversation, when analyzing Ezechiel 37:1-14. Andrew explained that God is active, as He pursues us continuously. He reaches out to all of us and restores the broken-hearted - He's the God of hope. We need to focus on keeping our eyes on the Lord, because He breathes life into us and breaks the chains of the painful past.
People seek God, people seek His help. Communities look for those, who were healed by the Lord, because they are blind themselves and need to be led to the Savior of the lost.
We must remember that in God we have our strength, our power, our hope. It is thanks to Him, the Creator of us all, that we can be healed from the pain, our weaknesses and brokenness.
It was a wonderful, encouraging meeting. We were very blessed to have Andrew preach that night!
And so, if you want to find out more about "ALIVE: God, self, community" series and grow in love for God, come and join us! We're there, Tuesdays, 7pm, Sweet Surrender Cafe waiting for you! :)

4W'S TUESDAY, APRIL 24TH
WANTED!
Karoline, responsible for the “Welcome” part
The suspect was seen last Tuesday at Sweet Surrender Café around 7 p.m.
She was wearing a black shirt and a wide smile. According to the witnesses, she
was distributing small cards to the FoFers, asking them to write their names on
the scraps of paper. Once they had followed her instructions, she collected the
scraps and mixed them up so that no one could see their content, after which
the participants were to pick one card and write something nice about the
person whose name they drew.
WANTED!
Laurie, responsible for the “Worship” part
Again, according to the witnesses, Laurie brought her laptop with her to
FoF and shared two videos that showed different ways of worshiping God. In one of the videos, a young artist recited
a poem for God’s glory. He was trying to explain the difference between real
faith and religion, and showing how people can sometimes mistake one for the
other. You can watch it here:

The second video was related with visual arts:
WANTED!
Andrew, responsible for the “Word” part
The discussion started with Andrew focusing around Romans 12:9-21.
Everybody talked about the verses that moved them the most in the passage, and in
the end it turned out that in the Bible, even the seemingly short fragments are
rich in important spiritual remarks.
WANTED!
Kremena, responsible for the “Witness” part
Kremi shared with the FoFers her experiences in living the Bible truths on
a day-to-day basis. A consistent attitude of putting the Bible principles into
practice pays out in the long run, because the others are drawn to the
people whose moral core is clearly defined and well-founded.
