Can‟t really say “holidays” as I‟m not really going anywhere. My aim is to have some time off, not because I am in self-isolation, or forced lockdown, but just because I think it is important to have some time to think, to pray, and to seek the Lord about what life for us as a church community is going to look like as we emerge from Covid19 quarantine. We look forward to meeting more and more in person, but I am sure that church online will continue to be an important part of our future. The eldership, the leader- ship team, and the management team are all in discussion over the coming weeks to form a road map for our journey back to “normal” whatever that looks like for us. I hope you will pray with me as we make decisions about who and how and when and what and why, and which meetings will resume, and which to let go, and maybe some new things we haven‟t even thought of yet. “I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11). I believe the Lord has a plan and a purpose in mind. These words were written in a letter to encourage people in exile. Jeremiah told them to look forward to the future. He said, live well while you are there - plant crops, marry, have children. But there will be a day when you will no longer be in exile, but a time of spiritual and material prosperity will come to those who listen to the Lord and obey wholeheartedly. We need to just rest in his plans and follow his instructions as we discover what they are and how they should come to pass. We ask for your patience, your support and your prayers as these decisions are made, and as we work towards our future. It is going to be good. It is going to be exciting. I believe that we will see fruit, and increase and new leadership emerging, and new people attending. But just like building a house, we need to consider all the elements involved and how all things will fit together. We will not be having open meetings for a while, even though we can have up to twenty people attending. We need to make sure there are good health and safety protocols to follow, and that we will not be creating problems or issues. In the next couple of weeks, we will make it clear who can attend, and how that will happen. In the meantime, may God bless you, and may your life be filled with his joy and peace, and His blessings be on you and your family. With love, Glenda THE ROAD AHEAD

27th May 2020 - Week 10

Hi everyone,

Well, officially, I am on time off. Can‟t really say “holidays” as I‟m not really going anywhere. My aim is to have some time off, not because I am in self-isolation, or forced lockdown, but just because I think it is important to have some time to think, to pray, and to seek the Lord about what life for us as a church community is going to look like as we emerge from Covid19 quarantine.

We look forward to meeting more and more in person, but I am sure that church online will continue to be an important part of our future. The eldership, the leader-ship team, and the management team are all in discussion over the coming weeks to form a road map for our journey back to “normal” whatever that looks like for us. I hope you will pray with me as we make decisions about who and how and when and what and why, and which meetings will resume, and which to let go, and maybe some new things we haven‟t even thought of yet. “I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11). I believe the Lord has a plan and a purpose in mind. These words were written in a letter to encourage people in exile. Jeremiah told them to look forward to the future. He said, live well while you are there - plant crops, marry, have children. But there will be a day when you will no longer be in exile, but a time of spiritual and material prosperity will come to those who listen to the Lord and obey wholeheartedly. We need to just rest in his plans and follow his instructions as we discover what they are and how they should come to pass. We ask for your patience, your support and your prayers as these decisions are made, and as we work towards our future. It is going to be good. It is going to be exciting.

I believe that we will see fruit, and increase and new leadership emerging, and new people attending. But just like building a house, we need to consider all the elements involved and how all things will fit together. We will not be having open meetings for a while, even though we can have up to twenty people attending. We need to make sure there are good health and safety protocols to follow, and that we will not be creating problems or issues. In the next couple of weeks, we will make it clear who can attend, and how that will happen.

In the meantime, may God bless you, and may your life be filled with his joy and peace, and His blessings be on you and your family.

With love,

Glenda THE ROAD AHEAD
