Sometimes a bit of a change is good!

BONJOUR, HOLA, GUTEN TAG, CIAO, OLÀ, NI HAU, Hello!

Greetings Church Family,

KEEP READING to see how we're mixing things up on ZOOM this Sunday!

(a bit further down)

But First...
  This week, I was looking for a different way to say hello, and as I scanned different languages, I was reminded of just how many choices there are. The world is a big place! I know I’m stating the obvious. Yet it still blows my mind that there are so many different countries and people groups and languages and etc etc. And on top of that, every one of us is different in some way. Even identical twins are not carbon copies. Then I started thinking about how BIG and AMAZING and AWESOME God is and I realised that these thoughts don’t even scratch the surface.

In one of my morning quiet times this week I was reminded in a different way about how big our God is. I often watch and listen to worship music on YouTube as part of my prayer time and I came across the song ‘So Will I (100 Billion X)’. It’s a song that I’ve heard before, but this time as I sat there, I watched the lyrics and listened to them more intently. I had a significant moment with God. He is so much more than we can humanly comprehend. It’s a beautiful song; one of those songs that take you on a journey. I have provided the YouTube link below so that you can watch it too 😊 I’d love to know what you think.  

The lines that I was most impacted by were…

I can see Your heart
Eight billion different ways
Every precious one
A child You died to save
If You gave Your life to love them so will I
