Hi
Southcity
Well, its
been a few weeks since I last wrote to you, and I know this comes on the back
of quite a lot of communication from us over the past few days, so I really
hope that you dont just push the delete button.
Our
family was able to enjoy an incredibly restful holiday over this period. I
would like to thank you very much for releasing Jacs and I to do so and we are
refreshed and excited about a few of the things into which God is leading us as
a church.
My prayer
for us as Southcity this year would be that we would be like those Jesus
describes in Luke 6:47-48:
'I will show you what he is like who
comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is like a man
building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a
flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it
was well built.'
I pray
that we would be those who come to Jesus, who hear his words, and who put them
into practice. And as we do that individually and collectively, we can look
forward to an incredible effectiveness as we endeavour to demonstrate the love
of Jesus to a sick, lost and dying humanity.
Come with
me as we journey together and form part of the great and incredible cloud of
witnesses bringing glory to God our Father.
Much love
Rich
PS - as
we start this year together, we desire to see a greater understanding and
outworking of community. With this being one of Jesus' words to us as a
community of believers, we are asking that you join us on Tuesday the 24th at
7pm in our auditorium in order that we may journey together as Southcity
church. So please would you make every effort to be part of this evening for
the sake of Southcity.
