Our Church Meeting decided on this as our slogan in 2006. We try to ensure open-ness in all the things we do.
Young, old, rich, poor, black, white, local or far-away, our open-ness policy applies to all. Click here for a schematic of our Mission Vision.
A 2011 summary of what we mean by our slogan is: To be open to God through praise, prayer and fellowship, and by being part of our community, so that the gifts of love, forgiveness and new beginnings will be available to all who will receive them
Open to God
We try to pick up God's indicators that we should be moving in a particular direction or taking a particular action.
Our watchwords here are listening, responding and prioritising.
Open to the Community
We recognise that in our village community, not everyone is listening or responding to God, but nevertheless they have needs and problems which it may be possible for us to help with.
Our watchwords here are befriending, caring and enabling.
