Exciting changes ahead!
It’s New Year’s Eve and I’m already thinking of all the exciting changes that are planned at Scampton Church for 2019.
It’s the end of another year and a time when many of us reflect back at what we have done during the past twelve months and look forward to our plans for the new year. Following my involvement in the Springline churchs very busy run up to Christmas, and then a busy time for me personally on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, I thought I would sit down and reflect back on the achievements of our Church community here at Scampton during 2018. I went to our journal pages on our website and was amazed at just what we have achieved during the last twelve months. Why not have a look yourself, or better still watch the video!
So….what plans for the New Year you might ask?
Prayer, worship, support and encouragement is the core of our church life together at Scampton, and I have a dream that we can make our church services, and our service to our local community, more vital and meaningful. My hope is that our services continue to be unstuffy and filled with joy, heartfelt prayers, inspirational music, meaningful messages and that the Bible is opened-up in a simple way so that we can help people draw closer to God, and in doing so grow in our numbers. Also that our church building continues to be at the centre of community activities in Scampton.
I would be interested in hearing your dreams for our church and community too. Please contact me to share your dreams and visions for our church during 2019. Time and money are needed, so I invite you to dream, to give, to share, to witness and to work, so that God’s love may be felt by everyone who wants to keep our church growing at Scampton.
So here’s to 2019… bring it on!…and we hope you enjoy reading this years journal. Remember also you can follow us on Facebook, and now on Twitter ‘@scamptonchurch’
