All Things New
September 2024
Dear friends,
September can be a time of new beginnings. Children are going back to new classes and teachers, and some are going to new schools. Young people are starting college or university courses, or perhaps starting their first job. For many people it is a time for going back to work and everyday routines after the summer holidays, and often this involves something new.
Many people think of church as being all about things that are very old. We have many old church buildings that have been used over many centuries, and some of our services and hymns have been used for many years, but this can give a false impression.
For the heart of the Christian faith tells us that God is very interested in change – change in our lives, attitudes and behaviour, and change in the way our world works. The gospel – the good news – of our faith is that we can be changed and made new. We have the riches of our heritage to draw on and learn from, but at the same time the call of Jesus is always to follow, to be ready to change, and move on into something new.
For God says, “Behold, I am making all things new.” (Revelation 21: 5)
Revd John Waller
