The season of Lent – a time to think about our “spiritual” life

Writing this in January, it doesn’t seem long since we took down the Christmas decorations but already the Easter eggs are in the shops!

Moving Forward in Our Churches

The Bridges group of six churches are planning to make two new appointments after Bob Clucas steps down in December. As part of this process, church members have been asked to complete a survey on the eight qualities needed for churches to grow. Some of us had some reservations about the survey as it uses American vocabulary and does not really seem to relate well to small rural churches. However, some helpful information has come from the surveys that we hope will help the whole group plan for the future.
