NUMBER 8

I've never been a great student of the significance of numbers in the Bible. I always reckoned that once I've got all the stuff that's written on its pages actually in practice in my life and our church, maybe then I'll move on to delve into secrets that may or may not really be there in between the lines.

But I do know what people say 8 is about. It's the number of new beginnings, which is quite fitting for this stage in our church's life. This is our eighth year and there is going to be a whole load of new things once the summer's over.

The key to achieving our goals is without question developing an even greater volunteer involvement.

So on Sunday, we'll continue our series Get Off The Bench and will move towards the target of 100% involvement in what we're looking to achieve on Sundays.

"The man's a dreamer", you say. And I'll dream on because I have a lot of confidence in the people God has given us to help us reach our potential.
