Thanks to everyone who is following the blog. Your comments have been appreciated. Apologies also to the many of you who have said that you can't leave comments on the page to create discussion. I'll try and work out what's happening.

We've spent a fair bit of today focussed on the physical - our building currently has 17 repair jobs either logged or underway. That's before the big stuff like painting the centre and regrading the carpark are pursued.

I get frustrated when there's so much time consumed with the physical appearance and maintenance of a facility. But we see the need to care for the things with which we've been trusted, and to create the space in which the relational and the spiritual can occur. God, who is everywhere present, does great things within this space so we want to make sure it's a place where people want to come and engage with him.

In the meantime, maybe it's the tradies we're to minister to. Look after them while they help look after our centre.
