My First Blog

What a week! 20 years ago history was made; I can remember it really well (I’m older than you thought) seeing those faces climbing on the wall and as brick by brick the wall was torn down and the look of freedom, relief, joy on the faces of people was overwhelming. History was being made and just a few years earlier who would have believed it? That the might of communism in Europe could fall in such a way seemed unbelievable. As I’ve thought this week about the fall of the Berlin wall I’ve thought, ‘when you’re making history do you know it at the time?’ perhaps not.

Then there was the story of the guy who wrote a book detailing all the significant historical events of the 80’s but finished it just a few days before the fall of the Berlin wall!!! Is that irony?! If you’re part of the community of people called Zion church, you know what this week is…right? Did you know that Sunday is...!

You know that we’re on the verge of making history through our sacrificial giving to see The Third Place built. This will be a facility that will serve the community, provide space for growth, be a landmark for the town and be a statement that ‘God is not dead nor does he sleep!’ We’re making history, we may not know it but whatever we do, let’s not miss it. Let’s not close the book now before the main event. Let’s not put our pen down before we write the next chapter. Then when Sunday comes and goes, let’s pick up the pen again and write some more history...

We believe we can see change in our society, in our nation; but it doesn’t just happen it takes faith, courage, hard work, perseverance and above all, people.

By the way this is also a history making week for another reason…this is the first blog I’ve ever written!!
