Rediscovering revolution at the heart of church

"I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?"

Isaiah 43 v19

Do you get excited by the possibilities of new ways of being church? Of going outside the walls, finding worship in the world, walking alongside those who have never known or have rejected traditional forms of church? Maybe in conversations over food, reflecting on the wonder of God's creation, or finding fellowship with others who share our struggles.

We can sometimes forget that the way we do church hasn't always been the same. To enable people who have struggled to connect with church to see and understand the message of Jesus, it can be necessary to find new ways to share that story. In doing so we can find that our own faith is enriched and expanded.

Where might God be calling you to explore today?
