Last Friday, a new edition of De Wekker was delivered to subscribers' letterboxes.
Youth leader Lennart (26) does not want to live without God and cannot imagine how one could sustain that without a church community. “Having two communal moments on Sunday where you receive instruction to help you move forward is very valuable.”
According to Rev. Kater, muddling through step by step yields more results than a tightly controlled decision-making process. It requires courage and recognition of reality, and you inevitably get your hands dirty, but it also has everything to do with grace.
Those who have learned to live by grace also know how to give grace. In the Word Work section, Rev. Kempeneers explains how this works, using Philemon and Onesimus as a very practical example.
Rev. Han Schenau advocates having a cup of coffee, or better yet a glass of wine, together.
The Middelburg classis is grateful for the blessed progress of congregational life. However, it also became clear that it is no longer possible to jointly carry out church visitation and consultation.
