“God is love, let us love one another”
At a time like this when there is so much strife and stress in our world, this focus can have great value. Our council meeting at St George’s reflected this. We continue to wait for more decisions and guidance from the diocese; but the focus of our responsibility is to bring leadership and guidance to our communities. Spotlighting two particularly important events. The first was the mass for healing which took place at St Wilfrid’s and the second which takes place here at St George’s this Saturday, the Service of Remembrance. From these events, acknowledging our need for developed communications, the need is to establish more coherent communication, particularly within the ministries as we move forward developing and growing.
Focusing upon our ministries as the best way to move ahead. The ministry of welcomers and hospitality has a key part. Knowing more and more the members and deepening awareness, particularly of sacrament preparation, and co-ordinating ministries of the eucharist, readings, website and a growing number of activities to develop the life and lives of our community. This relates particularly to the housebound, sick, social activities and those enquiring how to belong and share more fully in the needs of the church.
