An Ordinary Man,
A Holy Calling
Dear church family,
As I write my final newsletter note, I have been thinking of St Paul’s words:
“I planted,
Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.”
— 1 Corinthians 3:6
Although my time at St Michael’s has been relatively short, these past eight months have been a real privilege. Thank you for the warm welcome you have given me, and for the opportunity to worship, pray and share in the life of the church with you.
We have shared some good times, faced some challenges, and begun to shape the future of St Michael’s with St Mary’s. I have valued being part of that journey.
As my time with you comes to an end, I am conscious that the life of St Michael’s continues. There will be new people and new opportunities. Some things will naturally develop in different ways and that is how it should be. The important thing is that we remain faithful to the God who has called us.
My hope is simply that together, you will continue to go deeper with God, pray for one another, care for one another, welcome others and serve the community around you. Most of all, I hope you will continue to trust God as you look to the future.
Paul’s words are a helpful reminder that we each have our part to play. We plant, we water, we encourage and we serve — but ultimately, God gives the growth.
Thank you for all that you have shared with me over these past eight months. I leave with real gratitude for my time at St Michael’s, for the privilege of getting to know you, but confident for what is still to come. The best is not behind you. God is still at work.
With every blessing,
Andrew
