Do you give online but still wish you could physically place something on the offering plate to demonstrate your act of giving to the Lord? Then grab one of our “I give online” cards as you come in the door at each centre for worship and place on the offering plate as it is passed on. It’s also a great way to model giving to your children.
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
Growing pains. Do you remember what that was like? Your body grows faster than your clothes. Your emotions are all over the place … and your voice, well it can change between words. It’s a time of adolescence, a time when growing pains reveal that you are in the process of maturing. As a Church, we are also experiencing growing pains. Things are changing. They may feel a little awkward and even get a little uncomfortable. But that’s okay. We are experiencing growing pains. God uses growing pains to stretch us, challenge us and help us mature into the people he has called us to be, a people who are living, sharing and growing in his way and his life, for his kingdom purposes. Join us as we go through the adventure of ‘growing pains’ together, beginning 2 February.
