Getting
involved
It is very
difficult to be a solitary Christian.
Fellowship and common growth is one of the hallmarks of our faith. We
are called on to be the body of Christ on earth
In Frieth and in
Hambleden we are blessed with two lovely churches both of which are in every
sense at the heart of our community. Both offer full, regular worship right
on our doorsteps.
Both churches
want to make you welcome. Why not see what they can offer towards your own
important spiritual well being.
Perhaps you can
enrich not only yourself but your community as well by being an active part
of your parish church. Developing your faith over time and wanting to
contribute to the community in some small way can come together in an
opportunity to serve in a way which you find comfortable. That opportunity
may be through flower arranging, singing in the choir, some gentle cleaning
of a section of the church, or even helping with Sunday school, youth work
or becoming a school governor.
Be assured, you
will be supported by your church.
Asking some who
are already involved, and how they came to it, the advice comes back to:-
- Take time to
think where you would like to be involved - don't feel pressurised to
take on everything straight away.
- Talk to one of
the clergy or churchwardens, or to anyone who seems to know what goes
on, and say what you are interested in doing.
- Pray - God
will lead you to the thing that he wants you to do, and will equip you
to do it well.
