Church-Day Moments

Churches of believers can get stale very easily. This is one thing I have noticed especially in Hornsby, but also in other places too. Yes, we need to meet up with one another, and to spur each other on to love and good deeds, but we also need the occasional rejuvination to keep going when things get hard.

At the moment, church makes me tired. We have started some cool things, especially in an effort to keep strengthening the work done at the 9:30am service. Personally I have taken over a Sunday School Class, and this has allowed mum to be freed up for spending time with the other adults.

I am wondering, but I think this is true as well, that sometimes our fellowships need to be shaken up and changed every once in a while. We need new people coming in and injecting life and enthusiasm into the dynamic. Over time, these injections of life and enthusiasm will wax and wane, but there will still be plenty of new people to hopefully inject some more.

I am excited, I get to change roles next week. Our church is employing a new guy to come in, and to bring his energy and enthusiasm into our team. He is excited, his sending church is excited, and we hope it works well.

I don't quite get what my new role will be. Earlier this year, I reduced my administrative responsibilities, and took on more teaching roles. I will have to spend at least a term working out how things will run under the new arrangement, but it is nice to get to pass-on part of the responsibility for a ministry to someone else capable and excited.

I pray that the Lord will keep strengthening all of us working in our church to keep achieving his wonderful purposes.
