I wonder what you would say you ideal church would be? It is dangerous in our consumer society perhaps, to even ask the question at all? Should we go to church for our own benefit or others?!

Just now I was writing an email to some old friends from our last church, who, like us, have moved on somewhere new. It was great to hear how they have settled in and what they are enjoying.

There is of course no such thing as the perfect church, because there is no such thing as the perfect person… but I do believe that God puts in in the perfect church at the perfect time in the perfect place for a perfect reason.

We have been at Ivy just shy of a year now. (We moved on July 15th 2010) In that time I have made more friends than I had in ten years in Kent. It is a friendly place, but I am a friendlier person.

I think it is the perfect church for me and for us as a family. Why?

Well three simple words:

I am led
I am fed
I am sped (up) in my spiritual metabolism.

Frankly, for me, there is nothing finer!

i love the cleverness of God.
I love my church.
It’s not perfect, but then, if it was, I wouldn’t fit in.
