Church Blog based on a sofa
Here’s the thing.
Picture you’ve just arrived at Housegroup, and someone there refers to you briefly by your sons name / daughters name / some name that isn’t actually your name. The person in question moves on quickly, and you don’t a chance to comment…
Then… During the Bible Study you are again referred to by the same name / the name that really isn’t you.
At what point is it socially acceptable to correct that person?
During the prayers? Possibly a prayer for forgiveness? If not, when?
They say that “cleanliness is next to godliness”, I’m not sure who “they” are, and I’m not sure if “they” are right. But one time, while cleaning up for Housegroup, I did wonder. Are there “Christian ways to keep a house clean”? (Its the way my mind seems to work)
After consulting some particularly godly people, I gathered the following tops to keep a tidy Christian house.
How do you keep your house tidy?
Question. There are over 212 balloons in the above photo. The above location is due to host a church home group next week.
Should we shift the balloons by then? Or does the idea of a home group surrounded by loads of balloons sound good?

As the more eagle eyed Sofa readers may have spotted, 2014 featured the Sofa family moving from Church Sofa towers to The Sofa Castle. (Mrs Sofa has asked me to clarify this means moving from a smallish flat to a house). One thing we decided we wanted to do once we were settled was to host our homegroup. We’ve been warned we need the following in order to host our church homegroup.
The exact amount depends on who’s leading.
Just in case someone asks for it. But remember, there are dangers involved with drinking decaf…
As a special treat for ‘that’ person who can read Hebrew, and Greek…
Because Bible Studies can be fun. Right?
You can really take in Bible maps if they’re on a really big screen… and if nothing else, you’ll probably need to watch a video clip at somepoint.
Because someone normally secretly wishes they could be relaxing with a beer.
If you have all of this. I’m sure you’re ready to host a Bible Study.
Just dont forget the biscuits.
Anything we’ve left out?
Long term readers of The Sofa should not be surprised that we are fans of church / cycling cartoonist Dave Walker. He’s the guy who created “The Peace”, that we may have posted once or twice before…
He’s released a cool video about how he got started being a cartoonist.
Possibly the best thing about this video is that it gives me an excuse to post a cartoon:
For those going to a home group / housegroup this week. Heres something to ponder.
Do any of the above characters remind you of your homegroup?
