A message from our pastor, Grant Morrison
October is a pretty significant month. We start off with the October long weekend and that brings with it Daylight Saving where we move our clocks one-hour ahead. With Daylight Saving comes Hawaiian/Island Shirt time. Where the men, in particular, get to wear their “best” shirts and add some colour to our Sunday gatherings.
October also brings exams for HSC students. So much pressure and expectation is placed around these exams. We can say they don’t determine our future however this time and the expectations associated with it do not diminish with that knowledge. Please pray for these students and this year don’t forget to specially pray for Anique De Vries as she tackles the exams.
The key to October is change and new beginnings. For me the opportunity to change into Island Shirts isn’t just that they are bright and add colour. The wearing of these shirts signifies change. The church is always changing and as much as we like things to stay the same, things change, growth is about change. The church is meant to change. When I wear one of these shirts, I hope you see life and change.
October also brings us step closer to meeting the new pastor God has for Lighthouse Baptist. Keep praying as the Pastoral Search Team does their work. Keep praying for the one Jesus is calling. Keep praying for one another as the church prepares for the next season.
Many blessings
Grant
