2010

Well, it's been a few weeks. Now it's time to get back into the swing of some sort of normality. Not always the easiest thing to do.

As we enter 2010, we are starting with our "Salvos Out There" series. Yesterday was a good start and it was evident in both congregations that people were engaging in worship.

Part of our declaration, as read out by the members of the congregation, stated, "We see ourselves as part of belonging communities that embrace others, seeking and believing for God's wholeness for every person". We also said that, "We build long term relationships and, like Jesus, we don't give up on people".

They're massive statements. Even though it's only 10.30 am I've got to admit that I've been stretched twice in this regard.

The statements aren't just ideals though. They are things that we need to strive for, and God helping us, we can.

Happy New Year everyone.
