I had an excellent day with colleagues from estate churches in Southwark last week with the brilliant title Sowing in Concrete.
We shared stories, resources that work in our churches and communities, pain and passion.
I am really pleased that this has formed into an ongoing Group that will serve and equip churches in South London. See the Local Groups Page for details of local estate groups. If you know of a Group that is not listed or would like to help form a Group in your area, please get in touch.
I was inspired to write a parable on the journey there:
The kingdom of God
is like the gardener
who sowed in concrete
what looks to be
the least promising
of all the soils
yet when the seed grows
it is the strongest
off all the plants
and becomes a tree
where all the people shelter.
