This month's message:
Having
gone all the way round the roundabout, we went back up onto the A 10 and
headed for Hertford. Leaving the Al 0 again, we looked for the usual
`Diversion' signs. Sure enough they were there but they didn't point where
we expected! Harlow via Hertford seemed an odd route, so we set off
towards Ware. I
still don't know exactly where the diversion signs would have taken us,
but I wasn't prepared to find out at that time of night! We
often think of life as a journey. We talk about beginning a `journey of
faith' through baptism. The idea of journeying implies a belief in a
destination. Few
of us embark on a journey without some idea of where we want to go, even
if we don't know exactly how to get there ! On our journey things can
often happen that prevent us from continuing in the way we thought we were
going. Ill
health, the loss of a job, difficulties with relationships and a host of
other things can all provide the equivalent of the `Road Closed' sign. We
need a new route, a `diversion' , a different way of proceeding to our
destination. Faith
helps us to know that there is another way and Jesus helps us to find it.
If you are looking for another way, then why not join us for our Harvest
Festival on `Back to Church
