KEEP AIMING FOR THE GOAL!
Well, we are halfway through the year already and I cannot believe we are publishing the final bulletin before the production team and I have a short summer break. The next bulletin will be in the early autumn!
Such a lot has already happened in our church life this year, some things good and some not so good. Despite everything, we must keep on going - as Paul wrote to the new church in Philippi, we should “Forget the past and be straining towards what is ahead, I (we) keep trying to reach the goal and get the prize for which God calls us.” (Philippians ch3 v13-14) The prize is not related to football!
As a Christian family we should keep looking forward and work together in God’s service. At this time of year many of the regular church-based activities stop for the holiday time, but our Communion services do not stop. Keep attending worship whenever you can on a Sunday or a Thursday. It is always important to worship together.
If there are any significant happenings over the summer that people need to be aware of, we include them in the verbal weekly notices given at each service.
An alternative way we can reach you is by email. If you wish to add your details to our database - see back page of this bulletin. Be assured this is confidential.
Also, at this time the PCC do not meet but the church has a Standing Committee. This is made up of five people who hold significant roles in our church. They can make decisions in place of the PCC.
Over the next few weeks enjoy your time if you are going away on holiday, but for those who are not, keep attending worship.
It is good to unite and to thank God for all he has done for us so far this year, and to pray for all that may lie ahead in the rest of this year.
Best wishes and blessings,
Reverend Debra
