New starts are part of that change. Perhaps they should be called small adaptations. But with what purpose? Not for their own sake. Hopefully not due to the whim of those who have power. A church that is dedicated to being the church of Christ the King, keeps on adapting its life to serve the two great purposes the King set us.

To grow the church up to a maturity that corresponds to Christ himself. Growing up goes in stages, fits and starts maybe. When does a church or a person become mature, really grown up? Most of us suspect that it is always a matter of becoming, of growing. With churches it also involves regenerating, drawing in new members, akin to families regenerating by adding generations.

Which is the second mandate (or is it the first?). Witnessing, proclaiming, discipling, talking, explaining, urging, praying that others will turn their lives to serve the King.

It is these great tasks that we are engaged in. This year we hope to add a new assistant to our staff to help in the ministry in Canning Vale. We are starting new ventures in Willetton. We are about to start another Alpha Course. We will continue other ventures and keep on seeking ways to being the great evangel to any who will hear.  Please keep praying and having a share wherever you can.
