*******************************
Messy Church – Massive thanks to the Messy Church team for delivering another super morning of worship, crafts and fellowship. It’s a joy to see our Little Gang Families and Family & Co congregation coming together with us and others from the community for these events. Well done everyone!
The Dream Team Singers – Yesterday we enjoyed a lovely afternoon of singing and music from the shows in a special concert in memory of Sam Pinder & Tim Viney. We’re delighted to be able to offer our church to the community for these gatherings. Grateful thanks to David and Joanne who looked after the singers at their rehearsal, organised and provided the refreshments on the day.
Construction Site – Please take great care in the church car park. If you are able to park on Highbury Avenue or Broadway, leaving the temporary car park for those who need it most, that would be really helpful. Drainage works have begun, making the entrance into the Broadway Rooms a little trickier. We are in constant communication with the Developers and are keeping the disruption to a minimum. Please bear with us.
Trinity – the meaning of the season – Last week marked the beginning of the second half of the Christian year, the first being Advent to Trinity, the second being Trinity to Advent. The first half of the Church year has set before us the saving life and work of Jesus Christ and now in this second half, we are prompted to conform our lives to the truth we have seen in the first half of the year.
As Christians we are not only to know that our salvation is in Jesus Christ, but we ourselves must become like him. The emphasis in Trinity season is on the transformation of our life by and through the love of God. The Collects in Trinity are prayers for Divine help and guidance to enable us to bring forth the fruits of Christianity. The continuing theme throughout Trinity season is that of the practice of allowing God to live in us so that we might be able to say with St. Paul: “I am crucified with Christ, yet I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me” (Gal. 2. 20).
May we allow God to transform us by his life, that we may each be more beautiful to God, to others and ourselves.
