The Mission Community News Your Church Your Parish Your Benefice Your Deanery Number 42      February 2015 From Our Acting Rural Dean January marks all sorts of things – cold weather, sales, making resolutions, breaking resolutions. We mark the season of Epiphany, the time when we celebrate Jesus revealed not just to his own people, but to everyone as the Son of God. We also mark the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. January is a time for setting directions. So as a Mission Community our direction has been set by the Mission Action Plan. The route we take for getting there may be circuitous and may take time – something like the Israelites in the desert – but it will be for a reason. We need learn what it is to be God’s people together and to work together, fellowship together, pray and worship together. Plans mentioned in last month’s News for I am now told are by no means finally decided, as the people of Milton Damerel have yet to debate, think through and pray through the possibilities set before them. Let’s all undertake to support them with our prayers as they look to the future. Let’s also look for ways in which we can work together, not just as a Mission Community, but with our brothers and sisters from other churches. We all worship the same Lord. We are one body, let’s live that out practically, using opportunities that are given to worship together, to work together, to pray together.
