Welcome to our first In-Person Gathering of the season!

Welcome to the beginning of the beginning, everyone.  We are about to start our new season this fall as a community.

We start with a desire; to rediscover the beautiful, dangerous, compelling reality that a group of people surrendered to Christ and living in community together, really can be the means of transformation for ourselves and our world.  God did not come to save us from the world, he calls us into his world and kingdom, where the lonely are invited home into family and the isolated are brought into community.

To stir our hearts for Sunday, I ask you to ponder this quote from Brennan Manning on what it really means to be a Christian – Do you agree?  - B

“The gospel is absurd, and the life of Jesus is meaningless unless we believe that he lived, died, and rose again with but one purpose in mind. To make a brand new creation, not to make people with better morals but to create a community of prophets and professional lovers, men and women, sons and daughters, who would surrender to the mystery of the fire of the spirit that burns within, that calls us each “my beloved”, who would live in ever greater fidelity to the omnipresent Word of God, who would enter into the centre of it all, the very heart and mystery of Christ, into the centre of the flame that consumes, purifies, and sets everything a glow with peace, joy, boldness, and extravagant furious love. This, my friend, is what it really means to be a Christian.”

Brennan Manning- the furious longing of God

Please join us at Bowness Lions Club at 10:30 AM, have a coffee, and catch up with those you haven’t seen in a while. We’ll get started at 11 AM.

There will also be a time for children aged eight and under to gather for some fun. Bring the whole family. We’re so excited about seeing you all!
