Saying GoodBye To Context Students

Sunday, June 8th, 2008






It was an emotional day on June 8th as Andrew and Miriam (+ Girls), David and Sally (+ Boys), Melanie, Chantal, Vanessa, Sudharshan and Angelina (+ the 2 V's) and Hannah (although she'll be back!) said their goodbyes to people from Brentry church and St Mary's church. The service was led with passion by Peter Grimwood and David Lloyd.
It was a mixture of sadness, thanks and joy as we gathered together and as we moved outside to have a picnic together. Sadness, because the people leaving are fantastic and gifted and part of the family of the two churches. Thanks, because of all that the students and families have given in their time as part of the two churches. Joy, because they are leaving to arrive somewhere that God has prepared for them and we know what a blessing they will be!!!
We all look forward to what God will do through their lives and we also look forward to what God is preparing to do with Brentry church and St Mary's church in the coming years. For our God, is a God of hope!

About Us

REVOLUTION NOT EVOLUTION! BS10 (Brentry and Henbury) Context Profile In BS10 we are asking the question, “What does it mean to be a Missional Community?” Through Prayer, Theological reflection, Worship and Action we in the power of the Holy Spirit, are trying to answer that question as we are seeking to transform every aspect of church life from a traditional maintenance-based model to a missional faith community. We work Contextually, by which we mean that we are listening hard to the voice of the culture in which we live, and Incarnationally, which means listening to the eternal voice of the Living God who calls people into community to worship and to make real the promises of the Kingdom. These provide merely an outline or overview of the work we have been doing since September 2006. The BS10 area, offers significant opportunities to be a part of a church community that is radically reshaping and reforming what it means to be church. It is definitively a work in progress and not for the faint-hearted! Nevertheless we’d encourage anyone exploring the idea of CBT to think about sharing this unique experience. Hands on? Yes - Challenging? Absolutely! Up for it? Over to you
