Message from Elizabeth

I am still having fun with boxes and getting things ready for the journey. It will be nice to unpack them at the other end and decide what is going to go where. It is comforting to have my furniture and things around me in a new place, and makes it feel like home sooner. But I am not going to make a replica of Copperclay Walk. The layout and colour schemes of the rooms are different, and it is an opportunity to re-arrange how things went before. The familiar things will be in a new setting to create a home for that time and place.

A bit like our church as we move forwards. We build on what has gone before and arrange the traditional worship patterns and fundamentals of our faith in the light of the time and community we are in and with the people we have. Some things will be the same and some may look different as together we seek to be church in the here and now.
