Weekly Newsletter 

Dear Church Family

I hope you all enjoyed the wonderful service we had on Sunday celebrating Pentecost. The Holy Spirit was certainly among us and we had wonderful answers to prayer.  In this week’s staff meeting we looked into how personal devotions can change our culture.  How can we do this? Here are a few suggestions:

  • By reading devotions that focus on shifting our perspectives so that they are aligned with God’s Word.

  • By building good habits so that we can swim against current world views.

  • By deliberately putting ourselves into society being joyful and Christlike in all we do.

I will leave you with a little quote I found - “Be more dolphin rather than a jellyfish.“
Dolphins cut through the water cleanly and with purpose, whilst jellyfish just go with the flow.  As disciples of Jesus, let’s be more like dolphins!
