Dear Friends,

 

As I write, the holiday season seems to be starting. Holidays are great times for rest and renewal, and they often help us to see how many changes are going on, in the world and in our lives.

The Methodist Churches in the Croydon Circuit are going through huge changes during these holiday months. Some ministers are leaving, others are changing their areas of responsibility and service and another minister is coming to join us. The whole company of believers will find Croydon Methodism to be a very different animal after the summer.

 

In all the changes, let’s do three things:-

1. Remember we are the body of Christ. The Church is Christ-filled in every way, so everything we do, act and say can show Christ to others.

 

2. Remember we have been given the Holy Spirit. Whatever comes our way, let’s look for the Spirit and not be obsessed with rules and regulations and having to get everything “right” all the time!

 

3. Remember, as Christ’s followers, we have a job to do - we are on a mission! Just as Nigel is ‘sent’ to the Circuit as Superintendent, and as Jane, Ebute and Jojo are ‘sent’ to minister among us, so too is everyone ‘sent’ into the world (to our homes, our places of work, leisure, rest, etc) to bear witness to the love of God seen most clearly in Jesus Christ.

 

With love and best wishes,

 

Harvey
