The theme of time will be important in the year 2000. It is also Olympic's year. Old age, care for the elderly and care in the community. People live longer and expect to live longer now than at any other recent time. Many middle aged people are concerned about the care of their elderly relatives.
Many older people are concerned about their own welfare and care.
Yet the care that is available in the community is less than ever, and over stretched. The Christian faith has much to say about loving care. This is an important year and we need to plan carefully and prayerfully. Please join me in praying that God will be at work in our town and community and that there will be much fruit from our desire to see his word spread.
