What Can I Do?
Faced with all manner of bad news, disasters, disappointment and even despair we may feel completely helpless. It can leave us feeling listless, like the wind has completely gone out of our sails. What can we possibly do that will make any difference? An awful lot, as it transpires! A rain jacket isn’t designed for fine weather. Similarly, we were not created to live in comfortable isolation from the harsh realities of life around, rather to be in the thick of it making a difference. That’s what we are called to do. That is the holy, godly, missional thing to do. So, what exactly can we do? That is the very question this ten Sunday series attempts to answer. It’s not a complete answer to the question, but it is a start.
Tuesday Group
11 am – 12 noon in the Rectory. All welcome!
