CHRIST CHURCH, ST ANDREW’S AND ST MICHAEL’S
4TH SEPTEMBER 2026
Hello everyone!
September, to me, has always been a month of new beginnings – no doubt because it marked the start of a new school year. Somehow, it still remains that – a new place. Autumn is nearly upon us with all its beautiful colours. The weather changes a little perhaps. It might feel a little cooler, which this year we embrace. And it can mark a reset in our hopes and dreams, our thinking and expectation, without all the weight such thoughts and decisions seem to have in the New Year.
My question is – can we take stock this month, to start those things we have meant to do all year, if they are life giving that is. Can we involve God in our lives and into our prayers, inviting him to meet with us – to bring you and those you love, hope, joy, peace, love. And to know that he is always there loving us.
