A Message from our Minister

Dear Friends

I have searched for it, thought I seen glimpses of it, but it has remained elusive.... I seem to have lost summer somewhere, and I suspect many others might be in the same bewildered state.  It is discombobulating when things do not go as expected or planned, we like a bit of familiarity or certainty.

 As we are asked to look at how we go forward as a church through the Local Church Review there will be some anxiety because to move forward, we cannot stay static. It is the duty of the church today to think of the church yet to come, to investigate what will be required today to ensure there is a church not just in 5 years but in ten, twenty years and beyond.

God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow but the church is a living entity that stays grounded in Christ but with the help of the Spirit changes to allow Jesus’ mission to keep working in our community.

Let’s prepare the ground as best we can, sow seeds, and work with the Spirit’s help to see if they will grow.

Yours Ann
