Taunton Chaplaincy - Update March 2024

Dear Friends

 A big thank you to all the local churches and church-based organisations that use the monthly bulletin to advertise their activities and needs.

 Taunton is blessed to have a facility that enables us to communicate with all the churches in and near the town. The emergence of the monthly Christian Networking gatherings strengthens our ability to unite our efforts to demonstrate the love of Jesus in our community.  

As a keen gardener I’m sowing seeds this month in faith that most of them will germinate and bear flowers (and in some cases, fruit as well)later in the year. Please plan ahead to send us details of your events at least two months before the date they happen. It is sad to receive information a day or two after we’ve published the bulletin. The email to use is: tellthechurch@tauntontc.co.uk

March is also a month for finishing some pruning so, at the risk of stretching the horticultural analogy, I would like to thank all who have encouraged me during my time as coordinator of Taunton’s Street Pastor team. I conclude that role at the end of the month and pray that many more local Christians will be willing to step out to share God’s love as members of our day time, Saturday night or school–based teams.  

God bless you as you worship and witness this month.

Adrian
