Dear Friends
This Sunday we have our Covenant service which includes these words from each of us to God:
I am no longer my own but yours.
Your will, not mine, be done in all things,
wherever you may place me,
in all that I do
and in all that I may endure;
when there is work for me
and when there is none;
when I am troubled
and when I am at peace.
If you’re reading this but not able to attend the service, you might like to pause and say these words as a prayer.
This Sunday we also begin to explore the theme of flourishing. Tim Perkins writes about this in his pastoral letter here.
Flourishing is not just for the easy times; God wants us to flourish even ‘when I am troubled’ and ‘in all that I may endure’. The Omicron variant is everywhere, it’s a difficult time for many. What does flourishing look like in such times?
You’re invited to pick up a Flourish Journal at church and use it to record the things that help you flourish.
I pray that you will catch a glimpse of the flourishing God desires for all his children.
Roger
