One of the most rewarding and exciting things about my job at RPC is seeing people change. Last Sunday I was encouraged by a lady who reflected how much our church has changed since she began attending 10 years ago. One of the biggest changes has been the relationships that have developed within the church. When I think over this last week and the time spent with our various Small Church groups, kid's clubs, Teens, Playgroup, DVD night and church morning tea I have seen people interacting with each other.
We are currently working our way through 1 John on Sunday mornings, and we have been reminded that living in the light and being the children of God means living in relationship...loving relationship with God and each other. Jesus told his disciples that this would be how people would know that they were his disciples...their love for one another. RPC is growing in love as we grow as Jesus' disciples. Cool!
