“I love being part of the church.”

“Whilst I love the worship and the different opportunities we have to serve God, what I really love is to see people growing in faith; to hear testimonies of what God is doing; to see lives changed. For me, church is amazing because of you. Thank you for being part of church, and so enhancing my life.

“And because I love church, I often want to spend longer worshipping together, learning together, getting to know you better, and a church weekend gives me (and hopefully you as well) just that opportunity — to spend longer with the church that I love.

“Yes, we’ll have plenty of time for worship and teaching, and I am looking forward to Rob Dillingham coming and sharing with us over the weekend. Rob is committed to helping churches grow in discipleship, and this is at the heart of our vision.

“But we will also have plenty of time to be together, get to know each other better, share food and laughter together – to be church and so grow in the second of our vision streams; “Love one another” as we’re disciples on a journey together.

“So can I encourage you to book into the church weekend and come along and make my joy complete as I enjoy being church with you! And whilst we are there, we will also be helping live out our vision. Not bad for the price!”
