We had a staff team day away this week to refocus us at the beginning of the year. We spent the day at Vaughan Park in Long Bay and prayed for the church this year (that’s you not the building☺).
As a team we are going through the book of 1 Corinthians to see what we can learn there. It is incredibly relevant for church life today and its contemporary ring has led some to call it 1 Californians (the Californian culture of sex, drugs and rock n roll not being dissimilar to Corinthian culture or Auckland culture for that matter).
Paul was excited for the church at Corinth because of God’s provision for the church and His unwavering faithfulness. In each other, God has richly resourced St Paul’s and we are looking forward to all we can do as we continue to seek to be a blessing to the city of Auckland this year. I am going to speak more about this in February.
What is God leading you in to this year?
Our day finished with an impromptu game of soccer on the beach before heading back. Mary and Bex scored some great goals. (Bex received a great cross in to the box from Andy and then smacked a shot in. Mary a curler from fifty yards. It was sickening:)).
