Dear Friends

Becoming holy, becoming beautiful, becoming true, becoming loving and becoming purposeful: these are just a few of the things God longs to do in our lives through our worship. It is the latter that we focus on this morning: God’s invitation to a purpose-filled life is offered every time we gather for worship. The resources we need to live this life of purpose are, likewise, available to us every time we worship. All that is required is for us to offer ourselves back to God, and allow our worship to remind us that we are people with purpose, and that our purpose is connected – intimately and completely – with God’s saving, restoring activity in the world. As this reality begins to take hold of us we cannot deny the truth that our worship, truly and amazingly, holds the key to our healing and transformation, and that of every person and circumstance we encounter.

And so we warmly welcome Rev Roland Beukes as he leads our service this morning. Roland, know that you are among friends and that we look forward to hearing what God has to say to you through us!

In Christ's Service
