As another year gets into full swing and all our ministries begin again, I trust and pray you will immerse yourself in the life of our church this year. Can I urge you not to have a consumerism view of church as a place where you call in from time to time, ‘fill up’ and then head home. The Lord Jesus has so much more in mind for you than that. Church is not a filling station or a bus for a passenger ride. It is a family, a body, a living organism, a place where God lives by his Holy Spirit. Join a small group, seek ways you can serve, contribute generously, deepen relationships, come to encourage others, and you’ll be greatly blessed along the way. Sincerely, Mark Calder
