Pastors Letter (Page 12)

Dear Friends, I consider myself fortunate to be part of a church where people care about others. As a church we desire to see people come to Christ and grow and mature in their faith. I see this in the way our congregation speak to new people and encourage each other. I am very thankful for this. We recently held a lunch and discussion time for our church Welcome team.…

Dear Friends, Most of us will know some of the history of our church. We started in 2006 as a ‘plant’ from Holy Trinity Church in the city. Since then we’ve been a part of what we call the Trinity Network. When we started the network was only made up of three churches, but over the years the network has grown fairly rapidly. We now have churches in 11…

Dear Friends, I don’t know about you, but it feels to me like lots is going on around our church community at the moment. Thinking about it, we’re in a period where we’re between senior pastors, which is big. We’ve all been affected in different ways by the COVID chaos of the past couple of months (I counted and we had over 20 who were away with…

Dear Friends, We’ve got a bunch of things happening at church this week. Firstly, as part of ‘launch month’ we’ll be sending off three of our families who are helping to ‘launch’ a new church at Tonsley in the coming weeks.

Each week in February at church we’ll be marking some of these changes and particularly praying about things as the ministry year gets underway.…

Dear Friends, This week I’m delighted to be able to let you know that we have appointed Jane Finlayson to a new position at Trinity Church Brighton. As most of you will know, Jane has been serving with us for a couple of years in a volunteer capacity while studying at Bible College. We’ve now appointed her to a paid role, titled Ministry Support Worker, for 10…

Hi Everyone, This week I’ve been reading a book called “Being the Bad Guys” by Stephen McAlpine. (Some might remember that Cameron promoted this book at Digging Deeper last year.) I particularly found the fifth chapter of the book helpful. It points out a “gospel” that’s becoming increasingly popular in our society. A gospel that says…

Hi Everyone, I’m really looking forward to our next three weeks of church. We have Paul Harrington joining us to speak on the topic “Our Work: God’s Plan”. I reckon ‘work’ is a great topic for us to be thinking about at the moment. Work (And by work I mean work in a broad sense – we work in paid employment, as we study, as we care…
