This week we held our covenant service for 2025, an opportunity to renew the covenant we have made to God and to each other and also commission our leaders for the coming year. We pray for the deacons, elders and leaders of our other church activities.
As a part of this Chris continues our study of Acts, this week looking at the splitting of the partnership of Paul and Barnabas after a sharp disagreement regarding the role of Mark in the visits Paul proposes to the churches he and Barnabas planted together in their earlier journeys. Paul then partners with Silas and Timothy for the first time. We once again see that disagreements are not unusual amongst believers and that there will always be debate surrounding the interpretation of God’s plans. The church is made up of imperfect people, which is good because it means we’re all in the same boat!
Lynne and Dave lead our sung worship this week.
