Thanks to Jurica Koletić for making this photo available on Unsplash 🎁 unsplash.com/photos/RcVzx4b… Possibly last one for tonight- I have a kernel of an idea - “of what are you afraid?” And something about the church has to stop naval gazing

Wednesday worries Not making good progress with what I wanted to do this week. And have now come across the usual church dilemma; the significant changes needed in order to build a future conflicting with the intransigence of those to whom the change will effect.

Thursday therapy- a message from the EzraHub-: youtu.be/n4YnDrsYVes

Friday findings This week has not been productive in the ways I intended. Such is the life of a pastoral minister. Some happy individuals but a thwarted governance strategy

Saturday sadness The management of decline is not the model of ministry I anticipated. Change is just an evolution not a revolution

Sunday sermon youtu.be/SnEAttk2fb4 Of what are you afraid?

Monday mission With 1850 miles to travel, the coronation and “connecting on the killacourt” community event to prepare for; just getting through this week will be a mission enough.

Tuesday’s therapy youtu.be/h7jhwOPSNPs From the EzraHub team

Wednesday worries Delegation requires trust. Trust requires knowledge and understanding. When you have no choice but to delegate to a team the most vocal Of which doesn’t get you or the way you tick then you have a Wednesday worry.

Thursdays thanks To all those from the church and school at St Newlyn East who gave us a throughly enjoyable pre-enactment of the coronation this afternoon

Friday feasts- A week if some wonderful moments but slow progress. Lovely support from those above; still the same old self entitlement from those who should no better

Coronation observation-: Everything changes; everything stays the same

So church is a combination of governance, discipleship, mission, prophetic ministry and love. This weekend 7hrs on governance, 12 hrs on discipleship , 4hrs on mission, 1hr prophetic ministry and 5hrs on giving in love. Let’s change these round a bit by the ascension next year.
