casual thoughts and reflections upon life and the Creator whose idea it was in the first place

3 is the magic number!

For lots of reasons, as we look to get involved in our local community we're keen to do so in partnership with others. We don't want to duplicate what is already happening; we don't want to repeat previous mistakes; and we don't want to impose. Along with Hirsch & Frost we also believe that partnerships have the potential to 'demonstrate that Jesus is pleased with the good works of not-yet-Christians and [can also] provide a forum for the development of significant friendships'.

So to this end we're talking to people. To anyone and everyone. And we're asking three questions:

1. what are you concerned about?
2. what are the causes of those concerns?
3. what can we do together to help?

The answers we're getting are many and varied and we're already appreciating that partnerships will not be without challenges, but we remain convinced that as we strive to serve our community and help people connect with the God who is seeking them, partnerships will prove profitable.
