Momentum is building for the Spring Clean, and it's only three weeks away. We've managed to source vegetable seedlings from Clovelly Gardens in Waltham, sausages from Barrington Fresh Meats and biscuits from Couplands. It's all beginning to come together, even if it is a bit stressful! Thanks to all those who have already offered their services and responded to requests.
Regular events, such as the Spring Clean, show the community that the Church does not exist for itself; it exists for the good of the world and the glory of the God who loves the world - it is stable (although dynamic), present and gracious. We don't just use our resources for our own benefit, we don't just enrich ourselves, we enlarge the effect of the blessings we have.
In leaflets we'll be dropping we'll be inviting community people to help us with all the things we have to do during the Spring Clean. I hope and pray that we are inundated with calls and offers to help from within and outside Opawa Baptist.
Please note that Steve Taylor is on study leave.
