This month at Bristo we are tracing Jesus' footsteps through the Gospel according to Mark, and asking the question, "Just what is this Good News that Jesus proclaimed?"
As we do so, we are also reflecting on the nature of the new creation that God is bringing about and our part in it. The deacons have distributed a discussion paper asking how we see ourselves to be a 'house of prayer', a 'family of believers' and as having a 'heart for outreach'.... We are realising that while we are already experiencing a foretaste of the greater peace and healing to come to this world, God is always doing something new and it is our role to keep in step with his Spirit (Galatians 6).
One thing is certain, if we keep on following where Jesus leads, then exciting things are afoot this new year at Bristo!
Matt
