This Sunday we gathered together for an all-age service with an environmental theme: Oceans. In Scripture, the seas and oceans are places of chaos and uncertainty. But as the first chapter of Genesis describes, they are also the place from where new life bursts into existence! It is here that God's Spirit hovers and 'broods', calling forth a new creation. We reflected on how Creation reveals the Creator to us, and looked specifically at a local environmental project with global significance.

We were deeply blessed to be joined by Sarah Butler, leader (along with her husband Matt) of Bognor Regis Salvation Army. God is a 'Missionary': Throughout Scripture, and ultimately in Jesus, God goes to His creation to save and restore. Sarah shared about our call to join in with that missionary task - not simply as an 'activity' of the church, but as its whole reason for being and the central focus of what it means to be a disciple. She explored three principle 'directions' in this lifestyle ('Up', 'In' and 'Out') modelled by Jesus.

Concluding our series looking at prayer and the spiritual life of disciples, Jamie shares some thoughts about 'Listening' for the voice of God. As Christians, our spiritual life is not an isolated 'inwardness' but a conversation with the Being at the centre of all Being... God Himself! God is speaking, and we would do well to listen! But Scripture suggests that God speaks in various ways at different times: We would be wise to avoid assumptions and approach with openness, humility and diligence.
