Public Encounters

Easter cards are in the post.
Letter and greetings.
Much discussion today about the seven leader jobs.
Who will do the administration leadership?
Who is keen on intentional outreach?
What about pastoral care.
Here I am sitting at a computer, thinking of writing about why I want to be the leader of public encounters.
The strange thing is I found myself writing about why people fall away from their faith.
Talking yesterday it seems that this can be a clensing thing - like a bushfire - new growth emerges. Young people in particular have to find time to find out who they are.
To make every encounter with the church a positive one - and promote our faith as life affirming.
That is the mission statement.
Hold the name of Jesus up high - and people will come.
