third time rural
This weekend I’m heading rural once again. It’s the 3rd Refresh. There’s been one in Robe for the churches in the south west, there’s been one in Eyre Peninsula. Now Laura, in the mid-North, about 3 hours drive away.
Once again, I’ll be using mission postcards to invite a conversation between Bible, art and us about the breadth of mission today.
Somewhere in that conversation will emerge what we really need to talk about and I’ll go from there.
Once again I’ll also lead worship and preside at communion. What a privilege to press bread and wine into the hands of God’s people spread around South Australia.
The events are called Refresh and they’ve certainly been that for me, I’ve found it so lifegiving to be among folk wrestling with mission.
One church is bringing 12 people. It might not seem much until you realise their are only about 24 in the church. And that they’ve planted a fresh expression in the form of a coffee shop in their town.
How refreshing is that – 50% of a church turning up to explore next steps in their fresh expression journey of mission!?
