Happy New Year.

I know it has been a whiles since the last blog - I think things just got very busy for all of us and I certainly havent found the time for blogging on this site.

Anyway, I just want to give God thanks for 2010 and what the things we done and achieved as a community, some of the memorable and notable thing are:

• The Freedom Programme.  We give thanks for the work that Maureen and Dorlisa done with those women that enrolled in the programme, and the relationships that were built and the impact that was made in those women's lives.
• The Summer Thanks Giving Celebration and Summer BBQ.  We give thanks for those days which we really special for us as a community.
• The Love, Care and Support.  This has been a trying year for many of our members, and we want to give thanks for being there to support and strengthen each other.
• Our Journey through the Writings of John.  The journey we have been taking through the book of John has been really  enlightening and life enriching, we give thanks for the teaching team that has shared throughout the year.

2011 awaits us and calls us continue to love,  hope and pray with others, sharing the good news of the kingdom of God, inviting others to join us on this journey of following Jesus.

This year is going to present us with a whole lot of new challenges, call us to change, and ultimately live out our commitment to Jesus.  A big change for the community this year will be moving the venue for our main Sunday gatherings - please pray about this as some opportunities are presenting themselves to us and we hope that they materialise.

I look forward to the journey that we will take together, and whatever 2011 throws at us, may our lives be filled with love, faith and hope.

May you find the courage to face your fears...

The wisdom to see new opportunities...

And the tenacity to stand against the wind!

As always...

Stay Cool!

Phil
