LifeWay,

Where do I even begin to put into words my thanks for the incredible adventure that we have shared for the last 18 years. This has been a community that has stretched me, challenged me, grown me and prepared me for this next chapter of what God has called me to do. I did think that I would be here for the rest of my ministry…but God has other plans. But it is you the people here that have made LifeWay what it is; to see generations of families that I have married, baptised, stepped up to Communion and sat in homes and hospitals with has been such a blessing to me. To experience your Kingdom generosity, your missional heart, and your (mostly) adventurous spirit to “have a go” has been a gift that brought glory to God. Thank you for letting me be a part of that. May the Gospel of Jesus always be front and centre of what inspires your discipleship, your mission and your worship. I look forward to seeing what the next instalment is of what God has in store for you all. My prayers will remain with you...that God would prepare your hearts for what he has for you next and continue to give you a heart of faith to go where he calls you to go.

In Christ’s love, 

Pastor Mark
