Today, re-read the verses above from 1 Thessalonians and Galatians 5-6.  Ask God to show you if there is a phrase, word or idea that he is particularly underlining in your life, and in the life of the church. Ask him about how growth results from acts of love and the word of God.  Today would also be a good day to think about the buildings of Galleywood.  How could we use the church building better, for God’s glory and for the good of the whole village?   Is there any building work that might make the church building a better resource for the village?  Are there other buildings that we should be using for church activities?

 

8am: You are welcome to a service of Holy Communion at the Church

10.30am: A joint service at the school with the theme of change. Ideas for the future are presented  - we will evaluate them next week.  Questionnaires may be distributed.

5.30pm: All are welcome to a short evening service, focussing on “the body of Christ”, featuring  Upwards, our youth group.

6.10pm: The leadership team meet to start to examine options,

There have been a number of views expressed suggesting we have multiple (or even more) Sunday services to cater for different cultures. I appreciate the idea behind the views but I am a little worried that we are not large enough for this to work. There is nothing like a large company to stimulate genuine worship and stir our spirits, to say nothing of making it more welcoming and attractive for strangers. A small congregation can make all this much more difficult - both for us in worship, and also for a stranger who is much more self-conscious. If we were regularly 500+ strong I would say - 'go for it', but we are not there yet.

Also, on personal level, I enjoy it when we meet as one congregation, because there are other members of the family that I keep meeting that I don't know very well. I want to get to know them more, first.

Geoff.

I agree with Geoff. A large congregation which is thriving is much more enticing than a small number of people. But as Geoff says when we are 500+ then let's go for it!
