On Thursday 26th June, pastors from Northcross Cross and Birkenhead Community Church gathered together. Thanks to Northcross for hosting us so well, a special mention to Annelli Morla for the delicious coffee!
It was encouraging to hear the way Gordon Venter, who leads worship and the young adults ministry at Northcross, is simplifying the ministry for worship team volunteers. I was also encouraged to hear of the 17 people Debbie Bossé is mentoring.
It was great to hear from Alex Pope from Birkenhead about how the youth group is growing in their praying for one another.
After seven PastorLink gatherings like this one in the last few months, I've been struck by the depth of the conversation and the encouragement of being together in person. I'm looking forward to seeing these connections and conversations deepen even more as pastors and their spouses gather from across the country at the national PastorLink Retreat in August.
