It is time to look forward to 2008 and all that it may bring. We may be looking forward to the birth of a child, celebrating a ‘milestone’ birthday, a significant anniversary, a wedding or a christening. At this cold and dismal time of the year we are perhaps looking forward to a holiday either in this country or abroad or the opportunities that retirement brings.
At St. Martin’s there are many things to look forward to, both the growth of ‘green shoots’ and new initiatives. After the successful Christmas party at The Net we look forward to these families returning and bringing their friends with them. The Coffee Shop provides a warm and welcoming environment where local people can meet and share fellowship and friendship and we pray that this will reach out to more people. We look forward to the development of the home groups which provide a supportive, caring environment in which people’s faith can be nurtured.
The Marriage Course, which is designed to help married couples strengthen their relationship, starts at the end of January and we look forward to this initiative for couples both within and outside the church.
We look forward to the impact that the first Daytime Alpha course will have on people’s lives. At the beginning of the year the D.C.C. looks forward to telling Bishop Clive about the different initiatives that we have undertaken in our desire to grow the church.
As we look forward to 2008 let us all remember that ‘the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go’ (Joshua 1.9).
God bless
Lilian
