So our wee church congregation is now linked to another small congregation in a neighbouring village.
Getting to know each other and identifying ourselves as a joint venture while looking for a new minister is proving a challenge. Are we looking for the same kind of person? How can we be certain that people really want what's best for our communities and aren't jockeying for power? Can we ensure that those who might apply will preach the gospel? Do we trust that God has the venture as part of his plan?
It seems to me that prayer has to take a major role in this. I'm so grateful for the perseverance and encouragement of our prayer group and the possibility of welcoming others to this task.
