It was such a privilege today to give thanks to God for the diverse ways in which people serve at St Bart’s and take their place in the building up of God’s church. Special thanks to all who serve, whether you’ve just started or have been serving for many years. I’m so appreciative and know that many are blessed by your generosity. There is much ministry both seen and unseen!

As we give thanks, it is also a wonderful opportunity to commission our teams, along with our staff team. As we commission our teams, I particularly encourage you to please give thanks and pray for our staff team at St Bart’s who serve so sacrificially. I count it as the greatest privilege to be part of this community, and serve alongside such a gifted and generous team. Please do take some time to read of their roles, and pray with some of the prayer points provided (in this week's news). Please also note that, with great thanks to God, a number of our staff this year have increased their capacity and also are serving in expanded positions. What a privilege it is to serve together!
