Just a simple word of thanks from us on one of our favourite days of the year.
Thank you for your love, prayer and support. We are glad to be on this journey with you!
THE LAST FEW WEEKS
They've been full! Elizabeth's parents were in town a few weeks ago over the half-term break from school. We really enjoyed a few days away up in Edinburgh and our time with family.
We were back into London for a few very busy weeks of life and ministry. We're both involved around the school and community in different ways and we love the interactions it brings. At the heart of it all for us is a desire to connect with people.
Thomas was away on a retreat with Co-Mission Network last week and now we're spending time with the West family for Thanksgiving. It has been really refreshing to have family around!
REDEEMER
Redeemer continues to feel more and more like a planted church. We're transitioning from the 'starting' of Redeemer and now embarking on the next phase of the journey of 'sustaining' this new ministry. We're thankful for the people who call Redeemer 'home'.
Last week began the Advent season for us as a faith family. We're really looking forward to the upcoming Carol Service on Saturday 11 December.
If you'd like to listen in on our weekly bible teaching then there are a few ways you can experience it. Our Instagram, Facebook and YouTube channels contain the 15 minute video versions of our weekly teaching. The full sermon audio is now available on Apple and Spotify as well - these are longer and contain the full preach from the weekly message. All of these are searchable at @RedeemerQP.
WHAT'S NEXT?
A few days of resting as a family before jumping in for the Christmas season. As exciting as Redeemer has been for us we've endured some wearying days as well - not wearing that as a badge of honour or making a thing about it. Simply keeping it real here - it's been a tough season and we're feeling it. This makes Thanksgiving all the more appropriate for today and this season.
We are grateful to God for the grace that He continually provides. He is merciful to keep many bad things from coming our way. He is gracious to give us what we do not deserve time and time again. His love undergirds and supports it all. We are grateful to God.
We are also very grateful for you. Thank YOU for your love, encouragements, prayer, and support. We would not be here without you.
Thank you for being on this journey with us.
Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
