Greetings,
I trust that 2026 is off to a good start for you and all those you know and love.
The plan for the next quarter is with this letter. You’ll notice more LA’s; some
joint services and a circuit service planned for this quarter. The staff team has
prayerfully put this plan together with the resources that we have. We’ve made
sure everyone has at least one opportunity to share in Holy Communion at
your home church but if it turns out that you can’t make that date, you’d be very
welcome at any of the churches in the circuit to receive communion.
I pray that you’ll be blessed by the worship and preaching that our local
preachers prepare and deliver by the grace and power of the holy spirit. These
are challenging times for the world and the church. Ours is to be equipped and
enabled to be a prophetic witness to the glory of God in our local context.
Gathering for worship, prayer, study and fellowship are how we grow in our
discipleship and are enabled to be brave and courageous for such a time as
this.
May you be blessed as we celebrate lent and Easter together. As we journey
through lent, who might you share the story of Easter with this year? What
simple act of kindness will help others to know the goodness of God, his son
crucified and raised to life eternal, all because he first loved us.
Every blessing as you journey to the cross this lent and celebrate the glory of
the risen Christ this Easter.
