Worship

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the preaching plan for the Peak Circuit for the June to August quarter. You will see there are a significant number of Local Arrangements due to the fact there are no Worship Leaders or Preachers to cover these dates. This is for a variety of reasons, namely holiday commitments, illnesses and people moving on to pastures new.

This does not lessen the fact though that we are a people who worship our faithful God and when we do so, in spirit and truth, then faith is deepened as we draw near to God who desires to draw near to us. The closeness of relationship that God desires to have with us, constantly "blows my mind." God who is all powerful, is also all gentleness and, rather than being autocratic, works with us and walks alongside of us. Working in harmony with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, God desires that all might know his/her presence amongst us and reflect that harmonious work as we draw together as one. We are all different of course in many ways but that should not stop us from working together.

After the summer, you will be working together with your new Superintendent who will bring his own uniqueness to the Circuit. I am sure that you will allow his uniqueness to blossom and flourish as you work together and enter a new season of worship – worship not confined to the gatherings listed here.

In the meantime, Malcolm and I are the "people moving to pastures new." As we do so, I sincerely thank you for those times of harmony which have been a rich blessing to us and will continue to abide with us.

Blessings to you.

Rev Julie Letts
