Weekly Email w/b 13th June 2022

I wonder what your week has been like? For me, it has been quite busy, and I feel like I have been bouncing from one thing to the next, a bit like Tigger from Winnie the Pooh, but with the attitude of Eeyore! I have found myself always looking ahead to the next thing or the next job and not really stopping to catch my breath.

However, we have recently been blessed with sunny weather, and in the mornings, I have taken my coffee and toast and eaten my breakfast outside. Each morning I have been joined by my cat, who sits on the table, and a small robin that perches in the bush next to me.

I have to say that I have found so much joy in these breakfasts with my two friends and have been struck by how much God loves us. He has created a world full of beauty and wonder, and wants us to enjoy it, if we only take to time to stop and look around us. Just taking the time to enjoy God’s creation has been restorative and brought me closer to God.

I wonder in what ways you could slow down this week and spend a few moments each day enjoying the world that God has made?

In our morning congregations we’re continuing to think about “Everyday Faith“, and how the amazing people mentioned in Hebrews 11 and 12 might encourage and inspire God’s church today. Phil Cansdale will be speaking at Holy Trinity at 9am and 11am as well as at our 1030am Radbrook gathering. At the 11am there will be youth and children’s work in the usual manner, with us all sharing communion together towards the end of the service.

In the evening we are cracking on with our new series called “FRUITFUL“. Peter Madley will be speaking about “modelling godly character”, and how living Jesus-shaped lives might really make a difference in the places where God places us in our Monday to Sunday lives.
