Everyday Church #1—Living At The Margins

EverYday FOcus

“We need to do church and mission in the context

of everyday life. We can no longer think of church

as a meeting on a Sunday morning. We must

think of church as a community of people who

share life, ordinary life. And we cannot think of

mission as an event that takes place in an

ecclesiastical building. Of course, there will continue to be a role for special

events, but the bedrock of mission will be ordinary life. Mission must be done

primarily in the contact of everyday life.

An everyday church with an everyday mission.“

from Everyday Church by Chester & Timmis

Bible Garden Update

The site is now ready for planting out

the 5 trees chosen to occupy the west

garden. They are a brown fig, olive,

pomegranate, almond and apricot.

The final selection was based on their

utility as cropping plants so that

eventually the congregation and

community can share. Other obvious

plants such as the date palm and the

sycamore tree grow into very large

trees which one day would cause

problems and so will not be planted.

The planting out date is yet to be

decided. In the meantime now that

the cooler weather has arrived, the

herbs and other perennials will be

planted.
