More Paul Notes

In July Jepye and I attended our 20th Interlaken. It was great but when I saw the numbers that attended I wept like the old men who saw the new temple and cried because they remembered the temple Solomon built.
I forgot to take my cane to Interlaken but managed to walk all over town without it, that is a PTL since just over a year ago I went home in a wheel chair.
Jepye and I volunteer for a British Charity called Hospice at Home. We provide palliative care for patients and care givers. We both have a client that we visit once a week.

Not long ago our church adopted a vision statement and core values. I don’t believe we have shared those with you so here they are.

Vision statement: The vision of Stukeley Baptist Church is to bring people to faith in Jesus Christ and membership in His family, to help them develop to Christ-like maturity, and to equip them to find their ministry in the church and life mission in the world, in order to magnify God’s name.
This vision statement states the 5 purposes of the church found in the Great Commandment Matthew 22:37, 39 and the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:18-20.

Our core values are:

We will make you Welcome and be Family Friendly.

We will be Practical and Relevant – recognizing and embracing the real problems and concerns that affect your everyday living.

We will help you Explore Answers to Spiritual Questions - and provide the place and time for calm reflection amidst the bustle of a busy life.

We will ensure that your visits will be challenging and we help you to make sense of the Biblical Message of Jesus.

We will help you to discover for yourself God’s Love, Acceptance and Forgiveness.

We will offer you an opportunity to make a New Start.

The notes above were from Paul's update this month. I am having trouble uploading pictures but promise to post some soon. I want to show you some pictures of the church. Keep checking back.
