Thanks for everyone who joined in with the annual meetings we held for our two parishes. Many people, understandably, just think of the one place they belong and have a vague sense of there being more groups, churches and areas of ministry. We choose to see ourselves as a network that allows many people to belong in different ways and we keep ourselves accountable through things like annual meetings and church councils.
I like the idea of being able to belong at different levels and in different ways. It is impossible for us to be able to engage with everything everywhere – so we need to be able to identify where and with whom we most find that sense of belonging in relation to Jesus and others. This is where we get the idea of PeaPods from – people and places of discipleship. We are a network of spaces and places of belonging and there is room for more! Let’s pray for more!
On Saturday 14th we are hosting a ‘Hear and Encounter Day’ – an opportunity to hear the voice of God afresh. Do book in. Details below.
"The times we are in are much more to do with what’s new than what’s next. There are new challenges, opportunities and events that we are having to engage with. Hearing God afresh in this new era and encountering him in a new way is crucial for us to see the kingdom come.
Maybe you’ve never heard God speak or encountered his presence. Perhaps you feel like you're at square one in this, or even you have long-term experience in hearing God and encountering him – wherever you're at we can guarantee that there will be something new for you on this day. Come and join in".
