Spring 2008 News

Chapel News

We were pleased to learn that a new minister will come in September to have charge of Rolleston Church, Anslow, Etwall and Stretton. We appreciate the work currently being done by Peter Howard and other ministers who offer their services at this time, as well as the extra workload on the Local Preachers but it will be better for everybody when an extra full time minister comes to the circuit.

There have been many enquiries about another Holiday Club, following the success of the previous two, and we are pleased to say that plans are afoot for one in the summer holiday from school. Publicity will be around as soon as dates etc. are available, so watch out if you are interested.

Minister’s Message

Dear Rollestonians,

By the time you read this, Lent will be well under way, and Easter on the horizon. If you have decided to give something up, or have taken on a new spiritual discipline I encourage you to persevere, and I hope it will bear fruit in your life.

When I think of Lent, it reminds me of a time of training. It is a little like the training a top athlete puts in to prepare for a major competition. For them there is physical exercise, and pushing themselves to the limit. They will probably also adjust their diet so that they have plenty of energy and strength.

The athlete does all this to fulfil their potential and win a prize. We, during Lent, are trying to cooperate with God so that we may become like Jesus, His Son.

Sincerely Yours,
Peter Howard
