This Months' Focus
WELCOME TO 2016
Hi Church family,
Welcome to the beginning of February and welcome to the official beginning of the church calendar for 2016.
Nearing the end of last year Ps Greg French declared some things that have helped us frame the direction for this coming year. One key declaration is “Churches have seasons, but now it’s about Journey – a year of thankfulness” Journeys are important as they usually take you to a new place. This year as we travel together we can look forward to the Lord doing amazing things amongst us!
When Israel journeyed into the promised land they crossed the river Jordan and as they did each tribe picked up a stone from the middle of the river to act as memorial stones – 12 stones in total. As we journey into our future I felt the Holy Spirit prompting me to utilise this picture to remind us of foundations or foundation stones that we as C3Wynyard can build upon. This year we will cover 12 themes that will serve as foundational markers for us all as we enjoy what the Father has planned for us.
Acting as the bookends of these twelve themes will be Thankfulness & Encouragement the other main things Ps Greg French declared over this family for the new year.
2016 can be our best year ever as we embrace a journey of thankfulness and carry an expectancy of what the Father wants to do amongst us!
Were thankful for this fruitful family and all blessing we will receive in 2016
