A NEW THING FOR A NEW NORMAL 
 
	
	
	See, I am doing a new thing!
	Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
	I am making a way in the wilderness
	and streams in the wasteland.
	(Isaiah 43:19)
	 
	Like many, if not most, small churches,
	we have been left unsure by the events of the last two years;
	though not doubtful of our purpose
	or our core values.
	 
	Clearly, we want to take time
	to embrace the challenges of the wilderness we have been through;
	to perceive opportunities already springing up;
	to understand the new way under construction;
	to be replenished by emerging streams.
	 
	For all this to happen we will need to change;
	to believe for new direction and resource.
	
	We're glad that real life is happening.
	Sundays include weekly kids and teens programmes
	Morning prayer has established itself
	We get together to eat and talk
	
	BUT
	 
	Come and help us discern
	what we should
	leave behind:
	reset
	recalibrate
	as we are revived and renewed.
	 
	
		Do not cling to events of the past
		or dwell on what happened long ago.
	(Isaiah 43:19)
