October Worship Series

Planting Seeds:God Creates Leaders

“Our calling as persons shaped by the purposes of God is a meandering journey, it is not a straight path; part of what we need to learn is how to walk

from place to place in the geography of faith without losing heart and letting our fears overwhelm us or our enthusiasms distort our vision”.

– Malcolm Warford, “Our Several Callings” 1990
