From The Office

December 1st. First day of the Church New Year, first day of Summer, first day of Advent (and the first window in the Advent calendar.) Any other firsts?
This week the focus of Advent is Hope. I have a lot of hopes this week. I hope our first service in the new church honours the occasion. I hope the work still to be done doesn’t detract from the amazing job that has been done. I hope the transition doesn’t become too overwhelming. I hope also that we don’t lose what is important this year while we’re fitting out the building. I hope all the tech works. I hope all those who have worked tirelessly to shift the equipment from Cust last weekend realise how amazing they are! I hope we don’t miss any key parts to the opening service next week. And I hope everyone who has been a part of this journey feels a sense of accomplishment.
All the different plates spinning in our lives as we come into this blessed season. I pray we don’t drop the important ones.
