Going Forward

29Jan

We are moving confidently into God's unfolding future. We have a lot of work ahead, and it is all doable, with God's help.

I ask your prayers for wisdom and for restored health as I am away on leave for the month of February, so that I may return at full strength and capacity to continue with you in the good work that lies before us.

I ask your prayers also for my family and loved ones and for St Paul's vestry, staff, and other leaders, and for Canon Licia, Canon Fletcher, and Canon Gus as they come to serve St Paul's and St Peter's while I am away.

God be with you all until we meet again.
