Pause for Thought

 

“God’s plan is not always our plan”

You will see as the new preaching plan is circulated that it is again somewhat different for us in Wolds Edge Methodist Church. If you look back to when I arrived almost ten years ago to serve with you it is unrecognizable. We can lament that, we can rationalize it, or we can wonder if God is at work.

At Wolds Edge Methodist Church Council we took the difficult decision to change the pattern of worship so that we gather together for one service in one location every other week at least through June to August. We will discuss it further at the General Church Meeting on 19th June and everyone is invited.

We are living in challenging and changing times but God is at work and Jesus walks with us. So far we have opened ourselves up to the possibilities of that. We are now one multi-site church working together. We are from 1st September part of the Bridge Circuit I think the first non-geographical circuit in the country. Both of those massive and brave decisions we have taken  seeking to be faithful as we discern what is required to serve God and follow Him in this present age.

I wonder whether the changes now happening are another nudge from God on that journey? I wonder if it is one we did not expect yet and do so reluctantly? We can see it as another step of faith as Jesus reveals himself to us as he did to two disciples on the road to Emmaus and let our “hearts burn” or we can trudge on reluctantly wondering why “these things have happened”. I urge you to pray and be open to the journey before us that we might as a modern hymn called Have You Heard God’s Voice says,

"Will you walk the path that will cost you much and embrace the pain and sorrow?

 Will you trust in One who entrusts to you the disciples of tomorrow?"             

Rev Neville
