June 2011 Editor’s and Church Secretary newsletter
Dear All,
I hope you all voted on May 5th? It was Archbishop Tutu who said anyone who thinks that religion and politics do not mix is reading a different Bible to me’ I do welcome the comments of those are ministers on the pathways and policies that various Governments implement Likewise it is great that those who lead us in Government indicate that they follow God… revelations of others whose various misdeeds on such items as expense claims fill me with despair along with the poor example that many in public life seem to show. Now I know many of us would not claim to be perfect but I am sure we can at least sleep well at night!
We can see that unfortunately relatively few local residents vote as well as not come to our church.. Some do not see either as relevant to their lives and joining in will make no difference to their lives and this appears to be especially true for many young people.
Somehow we have to communicate to them what a breath of fresh air will happen to their lives if they come to know God and Jesus better and how this will enhance their life here on earth. How to do this? While I do not follow their thinking the Jehovah's Witnesses do get out there knocking doors… as I have been doing canvassing for votes over the last three months… Now I will let you into a sort of secret.. We go for door knocking on those who have voted on the marked register only.. Pity there is not a marked register for those who have at some time been to church...however I am sure someone is watching!! Please give some thought on how we can recruit more to also ‘vote’ with their feet to be a Christian.
Regards
Ian
