MINISTERS UPDATE JUNE 2026
Hello Everyone
Wedding Bells - As most of us now know, Matt and Janet are getting married on the 17th of August.
Matt will be having a sabbatical of six weeks from the 10th of August to the 20th of September.
Opportunities - A change brings opportunities
* Opportunities to seek God - as Matt and Janet seek God for re-envisioning for Matt’s ministry as he continues as our minister, teacher and spiritual leader on his return,
* an opportunity for us to also seek God afresh for our individual calling and gifting as part of The Church that He is building.
* This is a great opportunity for us to work together on how we can do and be church in Matt’s absence.
* There are always opportunities to offer to help with various tasks - please ask.
Look and listen out for updates as the Pastoral Team plan for Matt’s sabbatical over the coming weeks.
Celebrate - We’ll have a Celebration Lunch following the service on 4th October to welcome Matt and Janet back, to celebrate the newly weds and everything that we will have all learned, with thanksgiving.
In the meantime, church is growing out of all that we are each contributing by way of prayer, serving God and one another, attending the Sunday service, prayer meetings and groups (Toddle In To Church; Thursday afternoon which is open to everyone; Thursday evening which seems to be developing into a ladies group; Thursday evening at The Sparrowhawk which seems to be developing into a men’s group. We are a blessed church family as we live, supporting, encouraging and building each other up with God’s help, to the best of our ability (not perfection) through the realities of life.
Summer is here - The Working Party are back mowing, strimming and keeping the graveyard, mainly at the front of the church, as tidy as they are able to - thank you. They are inviting us all to a Saturday Working Party on Saturday July 11th, starting with breakfast at 9:00. Look out for the list of jobs they are preparing for us. The efforts of the Community Payback Team continue to be a great help.
Decisions - Please join with the trustees team in seeking God for His way forward with regard to the ever increasing challenges they face and work so hard on for us all. They are happy to discuss the details and/or answer any queries.
