Coming to the end of a list...


For those of us who love making lists there is both pleasure and terror when we come to the end!

In Lockdown I know many people wrote down a list of long postponed jobs they hoped to accomplish.  Over the weekend I crossed out my last entry; the making of the family 2019 photobook. So, to celebrate…I made another list!!!

I looked up what you might call someone like me, an addicted maker of lists.  Here’s a list (!) of not very complimentary names:
Listophile
Listoholic (I rather like that one!)
Listomaniac!

Someone like Captain Tom has reminded us all that, even at a great age, we can still add new things to our list; good things, like his heroic sponsored walk for NHS charities.

We can rise to new challenges and in God’s strength add another line to our list!

Church Life Focus:

…It’s been interesting to watch the numbers tuning in to Sunday worship recently.  On Sunday 12th July 2020, 43 attended Morning Worship, 52 listened to the Audio Service and 81 watched the Video Service.  We are grateful for these media and the way they are helping us reach the various strands of our congregation.  We long for the day when we can gather as one – and sing again (!) – until then we thank God for the blessings of modern technology.

…This coming Sunday, 19th July 2020, was meant to be a COTHA (Churches on the Hill, Amersham) United Service at AFC.  Although that won’t happen, we were thrilled when St Michael’s suggested we might combine in putting together an Audio Service.  So, the ministers of all three churches have contributed recordings to this service, which will be broadcast on both the AFC and St Michael’s websites.  At our 10.30am service we will include some of the contributions and music from this recording.

…You might have seen that we have now included a Donate Now button our website.  We are grateful to both Bob and Laura for making this possible.  Many churches now have such a facility and it’s good that we now have this method as a possible way of supporting the work of AFC.

Where your trasure is...

  I often use the phrase Seekers after Truth when I’m leading worship because I think it’s an honest description of where most of us find ou...
