One of the wonderful things about our faith is the fact that we follow a God who wants to be involved in all of our lives. The God we worship on a Sunday is just as real to us in what we do in the week as well. Our faith also relates to the whole of our lives and informs the way we live in our work and activities.

During the past years it has been a privilege to get to know you and learn something about your lives. One of the ways I have enjoyed doing this previously is 'Challenge the Rev', and I mentioned at the AGM, I would like to try this again. So I invite you to ‘take your minister to work’, allowing me to spend a day or half a day in your workplace with you. Or to share in something that you do or are interested in, or something that you are good at. I have already had some great experiences (look out for the photos) and I would enjoy opportunities to discover more about the lives of my church family and new challenges.

As we come to summer and holidays, it is a good time to remember all the good things God gives us to enjoy and that we all have gifts we can use. Nothing we do is too small to be used for His glory.
