As most of you will be aware, we’ve recently had five “focus groups” meeting,
looking at the subjects of Care and Community, Service, Evangelism, Discipleship, and Mission and Justice, and thinking about how we can grow in each of these areas as a church community.

One of the significant things that came up in the two groups I was involved in (Service, and Evangelism) was a realisation that there were lots of good things
happening in these areas, in and through individuals and small groups – but most of the time we don’t hear about these things. Probably the same is true in the other areas. And it would be really helpful and encouraging to hear some of these stories.

So … if you, or a group you’re part of, has a story of something that has happened through/with/for/in you relating to one of the above areas – or if you know of
someone else or some other group that has such a story – please let me know! It’s really important that we share the stories of what God is doing in and amongst and through us. It’s this that provides encouragement and inspiration for others. I want to facilitate more such “story-sharing” – but I need you to tell me of the stories there are to share.

Thanks.
