We hope you will enjoy your visit to this site.
The Church Extension is built and being well used, a great asset to us all as a community.
The following passage is taken from the message from Serena that she has put in the September Parish Magazine.
Her theme is on the Weald 10K and the 2K fun run. Serena likens this to life being like a race, and running that race.
The runner runs with the finish line in sight, that marvellous feeling and joy of a race well run and the celebration that awaits. That's how, she writes, Christians see a life run with Jesus at the centre too, like a 2K AND a 10K, a race run like the 10 K at Weald with some difficult hills, but surrounded by the beauty and joy of a life lived with God, like the runner enjoys the beauty of the countryside.
Bringing to mind Eric Liddell, when he was interviewed after winning the race in "Chariots of Fire" he said...."You came to see a race today. To see someone win. It happened to be me". He goes on.."I want to compare faith to running a race. It's hard. It requires concentration of will, energy of soul. You experience elation when the winner breaks the tape. ....But how long does that last. .....I would like to give you something permanent, but I can only point the way. I have no formula for winning the race. Everyone runs in her own way, or his own way. And where does the power come from, to see the race to its end? From within.
Jesus said, "Behold, the Kingdom of God is within you. If with all your hearts, you truly seek me, you shall ever find me." If you commit yourself to the love of Christ, then that is how you run a straight race".
Serena ends by saying "God be with you all as you run the race of life.
