Pastors Letter (Page 17)

Dear Friends, As I write this, it’s election day tomorrow. As you read it, there is every likelihood that you’ve already cast your vote. Politics in our present age matters, because it is a privileged opportunity for us to influence the shape of the society we live in. It is one small way we can love our neighbour by seeking the good of the wider community rather than…

Dear Friends, I am wondering how your week has been going? For us it’s included our 3 kids and I coming down with COVID. The Winter household are also unwell with a nasty non-COVID virus.

Dear Friends, We’ve got a few big things in our calendar at church over the next few weeks. For those who weren’t around on Sunday, here are some of the details: This Sunday – AGM (+ Daylight Savings Change): After church this Sunday we have our church Annual General Meeting. As well as dealing with some formalities, it’s a great chance to hear how…
