Trinity Mount Barker

It’s only 6 sleeps until Carols by Glowstick!  I wonder if you’re as excited about it as everyone in my household.   Not only does Carols by Glowstick mean Christmas is nearly here;  Not only is it an opportunity to sing all our favourite Christmas carols; Not only is the Free Family Fun going to be exciting, but at Carols we have the opportunity to share the good news of Christmas to every single person who comes along.  

The theme for Carols this year is “A Light Has Dawned” and our hope and prayer is that those who come along will grasp something of the greatness of the light that dawned that very first Christmas.  For centuries people had been “walking in darkness” waiting for light to break into their world, and on that one day in Bethlehem, around 2000 years ago, that long-awaited light dawned.

This Sunday will be an exciting day in the life of our church as we launch our vision for ministry for 2012 and beyond.  This doesn't necessarily mean we’re announcing plans to start anything new and different (although we are!). Rather it means that today is the day when we especially want to pause and give thanks to God for the things that he has done for us in his Son, Jesus, and also for the things that he has done amongst us in the last 12 months.

This time last year, as a church, we decided to take advantage of two new opportunities;  taking Andy Buchan on as a Minister in Training with a focus on youth and renting office space in Mount Barker.  In God’s kindness, through both these steps we’ve seen exactly the kind of fruit that we hoped and prayed for, but probably even beyond what we expected!  Our youth ministry has grown from a combined youth and young adults group to two separate groups with a need to start another group and to find a larger hall to meet in.  Our office has become a great ministry support place and is used for a Bible study or youth group five nights each week. We are really thankful to God for the generosity of his people here at Trinity, which has enabled us to take these steps in ministry together.
