Dear Friends

 

I have just celebrated five years as pastor of Liberty Church and I love this church! I love its heart to serve, to give and to seek God. I love the atmosphere when we meet to worship God and the fact that there is such a strong sense of family and of us growing and learning together.  

 

Over these past five years I have become increasingly aware of how much God loves his church, of how important it is to him and of how much he protects it.  It is his church and not mine or even ours.  I have also become more aware of how important church is to the lives of so many. I love the thought that Liberty Church is a place where we can enjoy God together and experience life in all its fullness.

 

When I talk about Liberty Church, of course, I am not talking about a building or an institution,I am talking about people. Great people who together are being transformed into the image of Christ and who, in turn, are influencing the lives of so many.  At the start of this summer break I just want to say thank you for your love, support and encouragement, and thank you for being willing to give yourself for a greater prize.  I pray that for every one of us the summer will be a time of replenishment, restoration and resting in the presence of our amazing God.

 

Much love and blessing
