Connect Blog: January 2012

We've learned over the years that God is always calling us forward, to live big and rise to the calling he has for each one of us. We have taken on the role of overseeing the Connect system from the beginning of 2012 for one simple reason - God said to!

We have big shoes to fill, picking up the reigns from Jo and Ady who have led Connect with courage, passion and excellence. As our church reaches out further, faster and higher beyond our four walls we're passionate about caring for each person. You matter as an individual and as a church we value you for who you are, not just what you can do. We want you to find God’s purpose for you in a fun, safe, challenging and relevant environment where you feel you truly belong. Connect matters!

This year we are alternating between 'Connect in homes' every 2 weeks with 'Connect Freestyle' for the week in between. We want to give groups greater freedom and flexibility to express 'doing life' together. The 'freestyle' weeks will enable other ways of connecting- whether in smaller groups, or larger, for focused bible study, for meals out, for prayer, mentoring, for community activities, for outdoor pursuits, reaching out to friends and neighbours - the options are endless. All Connect leaders have been briefed and will be leading this shift of emphasis. Please let us know how it goes!

If you're reading this and not sure how to get involved in Connect please ask at the information desk or let either one of us know (someone will point us out to you!)
