The last few weeks have been a buzz of activity and excitement. How wonderful to see so many people coming to church. It seems that both morning congregations have over 100 adults involved and Crossroads in the City has seen over 250 people coming. Many people are involved in serving every Sunday, making church happen, reaching out to people, and responding to opportunities for ministry. Crossroads International Fellowship, Crossfire, boys and girls clubs, FOCUS, City Bible Forums, and Supa clubs are among the many ways that people are serving and reaching out to others.
But, it's easy to get swept along with the buzz of it all, and to sit back and admire what others are doing. Can I please urge you to keep focused on God’s grace in Jesus and to be moved by this grace to keep ministering to others. As a simple guide, we are keen for everyone at church to be engaged weekly in one congregation, to contribute to a small group, and to have one particular way in which they serve God through the church. If you would like help in exploring how you can contribute, then please connect with one of the pastors from your congregation and they will be able to help you work out how you can be serving God. It is a trap in a large church to think that everything is covered and there are no opportunities to get involved. The reality is the opposite – the more people, the more opportunity and needs for ministry.
