A Message from our Minister

Dear Friends,

Summer is a time where many of our groups take some time out, before re-starting in the autumn; other groups meet fortnightly rather

than weekly (Drop-in cafes on a Tuesday am and Fri pm), and some things are held only through the summer (our 3C’s Cafe):- more

information on these can be found in this ‘Patter’. And, when we start back in autumn there will be our usual and new activities; again

details will be in next month’s issue.

We all need some rest time, whether it is a full break, a reduction, or even taking up something different. That gives us a time to refresh

and recharge, time to evaluate what we do do, after all Jesus often took sometime for a break when he would go off to pray alone.

One of the reasons we gather as a church family is to take time out from the routines of everyday life, to focus on God as we worship

together, a time to recharge our batteries for our lives of faith in the coming week just as I plug my car into the charger or another puts

petrol in the tank, we all need re-filled ready to go on with our Journey, and it is good to do that through our communal worship - even if

you are joining us via our emails sent out, our website or our worship phoneline

So take some downtime but remember to keep re-charging and re-filling your tanks and like Jesus prayer is the most powerful fuel we

have.

2 Corinthians 13:8 & 9

‘For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong;

and our prayer is that you may be fully restored.’

Yours Ann
