Do you have a heart for your Church family?
The Church Stewards have been reviewing how we as a Church family look after one another. At present the system relies on our stewards being made aware of any pastoral needs there might be. Clearly, this puts a lot of responsibility on our Stewards and this role may well be better fulfilled by other people: someone like you, reading this perhaps?
We are now appealing for volunteers to form a team of Pastoral Visitors. You would be expected to take responsibility for 5-10 Church members and visit them as is appropriate to their need, and pass on any pastoral needs or concerns you have to the Stewards and the Minister. You would also be expected to pray for the people on your "list" regularly.
Please consider yourself as serving your Church in this way. Any time you have to give to this role will help, you will be able to shape the way you approach this job according to the time you have available!
If you want to become a Pastoral Visitor, or want more information, please speak to any of your Stewards or Dan.

The Shack
Wm Paul Young's novel The Shack has been hailed as the 21st century's Pilgrim's Progress by some Christian writers. Others have been far less enthusiastic, finding themselves uncomfortable with its description of God as it wrestles with the issue of suffering in the world. Either way, it is a book that invites reflection on what it means to pray, to forgive and to love.
Jonathan Hustler will seek to explore the questions that this book raises. If you have read The Shack and been moved, encouraged, or angered by it, or if you just wonder what all the fuss is about, come along and share your views.
Healing Methodist Church
Saturday 18th September 9.30 a.m. to 12.30p.m.
To book a place contact Peter Ede on 01472 883625.
Cost £2 payable on the day.

Minister's Letter
"But we do see Jesus"...
(Hebrews 2:9)
Dear friends,
From time to time things happen in our lives or in the life of the world when we struggle to find God and God's will. Perhaps at these times, Christians need to remember to be honest! We do not know everything and we do not possess any special knowledge that gives us immunity from suffering or from wondering why. Maybe we would be more credible with others and with God if we admitted our limitations.
However, we have been given some clues as to where God is to be found. As the writer to the Hebrews reminds us, "we do see Jesus", even if we do not fully understand what is happening to us.
In the light of the devasation left by the flooding in Pakistan, in China and other parts of the world; in the light of suffering and illness around us, perhaps this verse helps us.
We do not see the full picture - yet.
We are not ready to see it - but we are being made ready.
But we do see Jesus, who shows us the face of God.
When we struggle to understand and however much we want answers here and now, faith requires us to continue looking for God as "through a glass, dimly".
Peace,
Dan
