 Fit
for Purpose
One of the main images of the Church in the New
Testament is that of a living and dynamic body vitally connected, and
growing together towards maturity in Christ the Head.
It's this central idea of health, growth and
interdependence which we're exploring during the next 40 days.
Under the banner of 'Fit for Purpose' we'll
discover why Highfields exists and how we can function more effectively.
Through an
integrated programme of Sunday talks
and mid week small group discussions, we'll have the joy of joined up
thinking, praying and encouragement. The involvement of as many as
possible will be a key to the success of the programme.
It helps to reflect the core values of the
local church: up towards God, in worship and adoration, out towards
society in witness and proclamation, in towards each other in welcome
and integration.
There's much Highfields needs to learn about
Christian living, and the best way to do that is in community as part of
a body.
