This week I’ve had the opportunity to reflect on and discuss the history of our Churches (St Mark’s in particular). I’m so thankful to God for the men and women who have gone before us.
From the Antill family who first hosted Church meetings in Picton in their home in 1825 with the ‘Galloping Parson of Cobbity’, Rev Thomas Hassall. To those who during good times and hard, have fought to keep our Churches open and to proclaim the good news of our resurrected Lord Jesus. We bear a responsibility to carry on this great heritage.
But we cannot do it in our own strength. Just as those men and women of generations past – we go on strengthened and shielded by Gods power as God himself is at work building his Church.
“For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.” 1 Peter 1:23.
Yours in Christ, Ben
