October 1999

The leaves are turning and the autumn is with us once again. As these changes occur, for those who look, a Divine principal emerges.  As the countryside losses its greenery and trees begin to appear less full of life and even dead, in fact within the tree preparation is being made for the new season. A close look shows buds forming and the next phase of growth stirring.  As a Bible based group of Christians in Epping Forest we recognise that Gods Divine principal for every person is growth and development.  You are important to God.  For each of us God wants to draw us on to the next phase of our lives.  As Pastor here I look forward to sharing & encouraging you as you allow God to nurture fresh buds within your life and situation.

As ever this month is packed with opportunities & challenges within the life of this Church.  6th day of Prayer & fasting / 9th Bar - N - Bus in Town / 25th - 29th Children's Week St. John's School / Fortnightly music workshops / Training & practical Door to door ministry/ Preparation for the Millennium drama / New study groups / Sunday school helps. Etc,Etc.

There is always a place for YOU in Gods Family and a role to play. Jesus makes it clear he knows our needs, He promises - " We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Eph. 2 v 10.

I look forward to sharing with you in Church family events this month.
