Today, if you
hear his voice,
do not harden
your hearts.”
Hebrews 3:15
Anyone who attended the
Church Forum at the end of
2017 will know that this year
has the potential to be a very
significant season for
Lansdowne. We face a number
of important questions that are
yet to be answered. How can we
most effectively reach our local
area? How can we connect
more with the BH1 community
during this period? What is God
trying to teach us through the
hold-ups to the building
project? How should we
develop our staff team this
year?
As well as these, we are called
to keep growing as followers of
Jesus, both individually and
corporately. We remember our
commission to make disciples
of every nation. But where do
we begin?
During Lent 2018, we’re going
to be stripping things back,
turning the volume down, and
giving ourselves the space to
listen to God. This will mean
that many of our regular
groups and activities will pause
during this season, so we can
gather each week to pray as a
church.
Even if you don’t regularly
manage to attend our monthly
prayer gatherings, we hope
you’ll be able to prioritise this
season, as we bring our
questions to God.
Our motto text for 2018 says,
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”
Our prayer is that we’d be a
church that is prepared to
listen to God and ready to
follow where he leads.”
