Revisiting our Vision

The next three postings are slightly out of order in that they are not from consequative weeks, however it is important to listen to the three together. The first was recorded at the start of September, when Rev Nick Grew restated the vision we have for our parish – combining his description with the real life encounters of folk in our parish. In particular, John Durrant of Outside Light shared his experiences meeting young people where they are. Outside Light work on the streets where the people are and do not move them into the familiar (for us at least) surroundings of a church or youth club. They take risks, and are rewarded for that risk. They do not pontificate from a distance, but actually go to where those who need the risen Christ are, and bring that joy to them. This is a theme you will pick up on in our the following two postings. SB
