JAB Update - January 2010

There is an undoubted strengthening of unity and fellowship among JAB reps and leaders – witnessed again by the 17 of us who met together on 28 January. Issues, arrangements and policies for discussion and finalization there may have been but the overriding outcome was a conviction that that yes we are seeing some real progress in our vision of God's kingdom work and its accomplishment in our area.

There is of course also the recognition that the reaching out to greater fellowship and unity must percolate throughout local congregations and not be restricted to local leaders. The body of Christ praying, planning and serving together is the ultimate goal.
The Greater Bedminster Neighbourhood Partnership has "community vision" as its theme for 2010 (JAB is a member of this body) and though this may indeed be a mainly secular group the theme is a compelling one that JAB can identify with. We are looking for two or three Christian people from the churches who would be willing to represent JAB from time to time by attending Neighbourhood Partnership meetings. Any volunteers? – please let me know (email me or call 964 2506).

We are grateful to the subgroup of the JAB reps who are working hard at planning for future events. This coming Easter time there will be a united Palm Sunday service (details to come – it was unfortunately not possible to arrange an open-air event for this year)) and all are welcome to attend the Easter Sunday evening service at the Salvation Army, Dean Lane, at 6pm. The subgroup are planning for a major open-air event on Palm Sunday in 2011.

The next reps meeting will be on 18 March and will be the AGM.
