Enabling people to walk and grow with Jesus and reflecting his love in our communities and beyond. That's our vision statement as a church.
Are you seeing it? I am.
On Tuesday I got the news that after three weeks of Baptism class, led by Paul McMahon, the group wants to keep meeting, because people simply want to keep learning about who Jesus is.
On Wednesday evening I was at the How to Read the New Testament, led by Craig Fairhall. Fifteen people in the room, a really nice mix of long, medium and new timers. And those new to the church, why are they there? Well, because they don't know much about the Bible and want to understand more.
Read that sentence again.
Hearing that for me is like being in heaven - to be part of a church that is enabling people to walk and grow.
We offer other ways for people to walk and grow. These include:
a. Growth Coaching - 1-1 whole of life coaching that starts where people are at and walk alongside them at their pace. For more, talk to Craig Fairhall.
b. Evening Block Courses - this term, How to Read the Bible. Next term, God at Work - juggling the work-life balance and mid-life career planning. For more, talk to Craig Fairhall.
c. Seven Practices of Faith - an introduction to following Jesus. For more, talk to Paul McMahon.
d. Walking Waltham - a guided prayer tour of our local community. For more, talk to Paul.
e. God at Work group - meets monthly to challenge each other to be salt and light in their workplaces.
Yours in our shared vision: Enabling people to walk and grow with Jesus and reflecting his love in our communities and beyond.
