Tim Writes

Praise God we have
managed to rent the
vicarage and to do so
within a week of
advertising which
enables us to meet our commitments
to Holy Trinity Parish who had covered
the Neale's up until the end of June.
Perfect timing, couldn't be better! I
have also done a bit of an inspection of
the house which we know to be cold at
times and have discovered the ceiling
insulation could do with an
improvement and that there is no
underfloor insulation. Our plan is to
insulate the floor and ceiling and to put
down a moisture barrier under the floor
as well. This should improve the
warmth of the property no end. We are
eligible for the new Government
scheme and with some Diocesan
assistance we should be able to
complete the project relatively cheaply.
Last week we talked in church
about discipleship; recognising that
disciples are not perpetual learners but
rather like all apprentices reach a point
where they need to become
replicators. Everyone of us in church is
INVITE PEOPLE HOME FOR A
Last year we ran an amazing Parish
there because someone discipled us.
Someone invested time, energy and
prayer into discipling us. The key
question is who are we discipling? I
believe very strongly that there is
someone for everyone. Someone
whom God would have us disciple.
Someone we are praying for and
investing time into with the intention
that they too become a disciple of
Jesus. Who is it for you? Take a
moment now and in prayer ask God
who it is and then intentionally think
about how you are going to disciple
that person.
