Confession time!

I’ve been working. Not that this in itself, usually, would be a problem (or indeed a cause for confession!). But I’m currently on two weeks maternity leave, so the few hours it took me to knock-up a replacement poster for our church notice-board have not gone down too well.

While not trying to justify this heinous action I would want to add that as a direct result of my hastily constructed ‘billboard’ we made a very welcome ‘contact’. Having spied the offending ‘artwork’ the pastor of a neighbouring church decided to pop in and introduce himself. It’s always good to meet people for the first time, but Steve’s appearance (warm, encouraging welcome aside) is particularly exciting as he is very involved with the ecumenical Transform Newham partnership that brings various churches and their leaders together to work with, pray for and support one another.

Given that church unity is pretty important when it comes to God transforming communities I reckon the flack for the poster was worth it.

[NB: Most Thursday mornings we will now be found at the Transforming Newham prayer meeting.]
