"Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.  And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near".

The Journey Event - Continuing the Conversation took place on Saturday 7 March 2009

 

The second Journey event saw us gather at the Arrow Valley Countryside Centre, Redditch to share and discuss with one another our not so different journeys of being church in today's culture.

 

Ed and Ali joined us from B1 church in Birmingham.  Ed shared the development of this Fresh Expressions church and it was good to have an Anglican perspective in the conversation.

 

Dave from Hillfields in Coventry shared their story - one of a radically changing church culture in the midst of a multi ethnic community.

 

Andy from Woodrow in Redditch gave an update on the Welcome Centre and shared a short video of the Christmas Fair that was held in the Woodrow Community Shopping Centre last December. 

 

I shared from a personal perspective some insights from my own journey.  It was great to meet up with everyone and to hear their stories, but what struck me most was the tremendous challenges we face, as followers of Jesus, to live out our faith in diverse and challenging circumstances.  We need each other; we need church, whatever form or shape it takes.

 

It was also clear that we all have a heart for mission and are wrestling with how we carry that out in the communities God has placed us in.  This came out in a video we watched by Mark Green.  Mark talked about the need to reach the UK but first addressed the issues that churches need to tackle to equip Christians to relate their faith to those around them in everyday life.  Seems this journey is taking a decidedly missional turn.
