A Nativity Story

I have been thinking a lot about the Nativity Story, not because it's Christmas but because in a little over two week we head over the hill to Blenheim to be part of the Parish of the Nativity, where I'll be associate Priest. The Nativity story I am thinking about relates then to a Church that has boomed and somewhat lot its way over the last few years. My hope and I believe my commission is to help them and join them as they re-focus re-gather themselves and re-engage with their community. It's a story about re-birth and the hope that Christ brings –it's going to be an adventure and certainly a story full of hope.
